"The Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development will meet in June 2012. Although the past twenty years since the founding of this conference have seen some achievement, broader trends show the world headed away from truly sustainable development. In the last twenty years, the world has seen terrible poverty, a greater chasm between the rich and the poor, worsening soils, and an overall negative footprint of humanity on the earth. The world cannot continue on in this way. I voted in favour of this resolution because it states that the wild capitalist economy must be determined as one that destroys the environment and endangers people which is not acceptable. A sustainable economy must be developed. Sustainability requires commitment from a local level all the way to the global level. A framework needs to be developed that will help economies of European countries encourage management of natural resources so they are not over-exploited. Additionally, there is the issue of intergenerational justice and fairness; future generations should not have to pay the costs of the current generation."@en1
