Johannesburg, August (GYRP) – Can sustainability be learnt? The Institute for Sustainable Development seems to think so. It is offering free environmental training during the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development.
“Attendees will receive training in practical, how-to courses taught by experienced practitioners from around the world,” says the introductory letter.
Cynics here suggest that application forms should be sent to some of the world leaders to help treat cases of unsustainable ignorance.

Educating woman works, microfunding works. These ar slow solutions, nothing high profile to encourage P.R. dependant government organizations, and short-lived kabinets to endorse these growth sustaining initiatives. Together with a dose gratuit racisme, when confronted with the plight of an impoverished population, and tiredness with knot-tying bureaucratic reporting on progress reports on the part of receiving nations(It takes the whole staff of a small country a year to fullfill this obligation to the UN in order to get development aid, which leaves nobody handy for the job at hand)the general consensus is a rethink. But it is disguting that money and resources are spent on Eastern-European and Arab countries because they are more high-profile. The most shocking is that diamonds from Sierra Leone are used to give Qatar moslima an English education, while kids are deprived of this in Sierra Leone. And that slavery continues from the Sudan. Blach Africans are not even welcome in European Mosques, without a having to go trough a disgusting discussion on the true faith. Blach Africans should really put themselves on the map again.
150.000 years of social and spritual tradition should give them a healthy self-confidence. Multi-nationals and the breakdown of trade bariers is their best bet. Go for high-profile realy expensive projects and give those leaders the say so, but continue the micro-projects that work. Ask for Universities, encourage investment in waterworks, infrastructure. The more money you ask the more credible a project is.Holland has the same deficit as Nigeria, so there is no reason to belittle yourselves.
The African aircompanie was taken over by the Libanese and in the first place created for their benefit. They are also the ones getting the diamonds to Qatar.North African countries are not in the intrest of all of Africa. Their agenda is a different one.
reaction also on article of Ote Muyiwa Bamidel. Greetings twoworld.
