>Sweden Legislates for Sustainability

>STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 4, 2001 (ENS) - The Swedish government today
underlined its determination to make Sweden the world's most
environmentally sustainable nation by proposing a series of legal targets
and deadlines for implementing 15 over-arching environmental quality
objectives adopted in 1999. 
>
>Designed to achieve environmental sustainability within one generation,
the new environmental quality objectives bill sets out about 60 "concrete
measures and strategies" to achieve 14 of the 15 quality objectives by 2010.

· I wish it was New Zealand (see my prediction below, the day before), but
it's _very_ good to see a significant country like Sweden taking concrete
steps, and having every chance of making it; _Yes!_ it can be done!

(1) Transition.
    ... re-use is the "right" way to make use of all the embodied energy in
such things. At least during the transition period. ...

(2) Approximate sustainability.
    This should be the goal; ...

(3) True sustainability.
    I don't know that we'll ever "arrive";... but I expect New Zealand to
"arrive" within my children's lifetime, provided the USA, Europe and Japan
don't ruin everything.
