摘要
当今世界是不可持续的,因为地球资源的更新能力不及全球资源的消耗速度。世间万物彼此相关,不可控制:所有的人类活动都会在地球上的某个地方产生不可预期的影响。一处的善举往往会给其他地方带来麻烦。在这种情况下,是否仍然可以提出可持续发展的要求?小区域可持续发展对此给出了肯定的回答,并在你所认为的"可持续发展"的周边划定概念的边界,当你将边界固定,对此给予接受,也就意味着你站在了政治的立场上。
Today＇s world is unsustainable： the global consumption of resources exceeds the planet＇s capacity to renew them. It is also interconnected and uncontrollable： every human action generates unexpected effects, somewhere around the globe. There is a fair chance that good done here causes trouble somewhere else. Is it still, possible, given these conditions, to claim sustainability？ Pockets of Sustainabillty says it is, providing you fix conceptual boundaries around what you label sustainable and accept, that by fixing these boundaries, you are taking a political stance.
