Sustainability in a Resource-Based Economy context
Sustainability has the following specific meanings when invoked or applied within a context of Resource-Based Economy:
- homeostatic environment, either natural or artificial, internal or external
- methods or processes which are expected, according to the most updated scientific knowledge, not to pollute the Natural environment
- social practices that are expected, according to the most updated scientific knoeledge, not to disrupt social peace and balance
Examples of unsustainable practices
The following is a short list of examples to illustrate activities which are not considered sustainable within a frame of reference of a Resoure-Based Economy:
- population growth (global)
- pollution of natural habitats (i.e. disrupting ecosystems), e.g. dumping waste on a river, factory farming
- pollution of the atmosphere with gasses and particles that are not commonly found in Natural pristine environments
- using non-renewable resources, or using them at a rate greater than their natural renewal rate, e.g. fossil fuels, fisheries
- profit and property, e.g. law, money
- violating the city's terms and conditions, e.g. exposing oneself nude in public if that had deemed not allowed in the city
- abuse and manipulation, e.g. sociopath behaviours, lying, emotional or physical abuse (especially of children)
- violence, e.g. war, pysical or verbal abuse
- blame, e.g. punishment, refusal to take personal responsibility, identify and discriminate problematic individuals as opposed to problematic behaviours, revenge, spite
