The other day I heard a wonderful; story:
in the fairy world of local` ngos the word sustainable is very fashionable and gets used in every second sentence' everything has to become; sustainable ( that ngo's and sustainable are about as oximoronic as America and culture seems to bother them not.)
So there was this very rich ngo ,who invited another very rich ngo to watch the latest sustainable project they had just finished: a well (sustainable) and a filter installation (sustainable) to clean the village's water to make it all sustainable... the well was beautiful” I.e it was pretty and it actually worked, I.e. There was water coming out of it. Now they went to the filter installation (sustainable) housed in a very sustainable hut, pretty local( sustainable) materials and inside the (sustainable) water filter installation: and it worked!.. only the locals had modified it to some spiritual and of course sustainable goal: neatly reassembled the filter installation had become a very ( sustainable) distillery,` happily churning out the local moonshine... and so the project was finally, truly sustainable, (although the ngo s didn' t think this funny at all...)
