Sustainability Overview
“We need to make growth greener, to make our economic and environmental policies more compatible and even mutually-reinforcing. This is not just a matter of new technologies or new sources of renewable, safe energy. It is about how we all behave every day of our lives, what we eat, what we drink, what we recycle, re-use, repair, how we produce and how we consume.”
Angel Gurria, The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Secretary General - May 2011
