Sustainability

“Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations 1987, 8).

“Sustainability has all too often been taken for granted as a self-evident good in artistic discourses, [leading] many Left-oriented critics to dismiss the term out of hand as so much neoliberal ‘greenwashing’ serving to neutralize properly political analyses and demands in favor of superficially eco-conscious forms of lifestyle, design, and consumer-citizenship” (Mckee 2010, 25).
