Michael, a thoughtful reader of our Fundamentals blog, posted a comment about our proposed principle, Ensure every child is wanted, in which he asks: “[This] goes beyond sustainability’s purview, doesn’t it?”
Sightline has long argued that family planning plays a significant role in a range of sustainability issues, starting with our book Misplaced Blame back in 1997, and as recently as our latest book, Cascadia Scorecard 2005 (pdf)–not to mention as a regular feature of this blog.
But what do you think?
Does “Ensure every child is wanted” belong on our short list of sustainability principles?
