How to Fight Back Against The United Nations "Sustainable Development" Agenda

[FrankRep]

Wikipedia: Agenda 21

Agenda 21 is an action plan of the United Nations (UN) related to sustainable development and was an outcome of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, in 1992. It is a comprehensive blueprint of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the UN, governments, and major groups in every area in which humans directly affect the environment.

How do we fight back against the United Nations' Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development in our local community? Here are some thoughts.​

Our progressive City Council is passing new Land Development Codes, which are evidently all the rage at the local level now.

Flagstaff too costly to be sustainable (Wow. My comment actually made it through moderation).

To me, sustainable development makes absolute sense.

Then again, intelligent people can debate the definition of "sustainable." As with any laws affecting our property, in the wrong hands those laws can be oppressive. We have to stay vigilant and strike that balance between property rights and protecting the environment, as well as the rights of the neighbors.

ps. I've never heard of this U.N. bull...but I really don't think we have much to fear.

 

[rnestam]

I second that, all for sustainable building. But like the wise Rand Paul said, I just don't want to be forced into doing it...

 

[BenIsForRon]

Sustainable development is awesome, and one of the most awesome things about it is that it is an inherently local solution. If you're getting orders on how to be sustainable from a global or national government, then you're probably not moving towards sustainability.

There is a wealth of information available, It is well documented.
Educate yourself.

There's no need for any level of government, whether local, state, national, or global, to get involved in "sustainability". All these entities are totally incapable of making economic calculations of any rational sort--only the market, through its price system, is capable of allocating resources in a rational "sustainable" way.

The problem is, some people take this too far and attack Organic produce, new farming techniques, and anything more environmentally friendly. The problem is the government mandating it, not companies and people taking part. A government mandating we all use electric cars is one thing, but choosing to buy organic food or purchase those electric cars is another. And yes, I am aware that electricity=coal, which is also environmentally poor, but I am throwing out examples.

That's why I'm visiting the smartest forum on earth!

Then how do you account for overfishing?

It seems rational to me, that in the absence of laws preventing such, that people would exploit a resource until it is gone.

COOL.
This subject has been posted several times and there is a wealth of information on the web.
From UN and Globalist supporting sites as well as those in opposition to a Globalist (NWO) takeover.

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

It has been ongoing, especially since the 1990s. You had said,

I've never heard of this U.N. bull...

It is the basis of many laws and programs today and many more planned.
Awareness is the first step.

I don't.
Over fish an area and you will be OUT OF Business.
It has happened before.

Perfect example of tragedy of the commons. No one owns the ocean, therefore, everyone has the incentive to get as much as he can for himself, because, if he doesn't get it, someone else will.

Tragedy of the Commons...agree!

I remember reading some great ideas from Free Market enviromentalists back in college. Was refreshing to hear another viewpoint, even though I remember the professor, Dr. Socialism, act incredulous about it lol.

From what I remember, the weakness of the argument is the practicality of it, and difficulty of assigning a dollar amount to environmental consequences.

Yes, putting yourself out of business is irrational.

I guess my question is, even if you personally are responsible and rational in your actions, how can you prevent others from acting irresponsibly?

Or more aptly, without regulations, how do you prevent sheer numbers of people from depleting a limited resource?

This has happened on the Great Lakes with their fishing industry, with species of fish being wiped out completely.

This thread title is full of fail; as there is nothing wrong with "sustainable development". But there is plenty wrong with globally mandated legislation controlled by global corporations and their petty dictators.

Nothing wrong with the "Patriot Act" either! Are you against Patriots?

What species?

I remember when pollution had killed Lake Erie. And I also remember that people cleaned it up and it supports vibrant life today.
That is in my lifetime.

It is true that you can over-fish to the point that it will not support an industry.
The Key West Turtle industry fished the turtles to the point that they went out of business. The abandoned cannery is now a museum.
And sea turtles are everywhere.

What species are extinct in Michigan? When did this happen?

I'm fairly certain that was my entire point.
