Life on the Brink Quotes

“Sustainable growth, a phrase beloved by politicians, is an oxymoron. In a world of finite size, with limited resources, sustained growth of any material thing, such as a population or an economy, is not possible. Physical objects or processes cannot grow forever in a finite world. Understanding this simple fact is central to any understanding of sustainability.”
― Eileen Crist, Life on the Brink: Environmentalists Confront Overpopulation
