22. Defining Sustainability
    Despite a clear environmental danger, and with the terms sustainability and sustainable development in everbroader use, definitions remain contested.  
    http://www.csa.com/discoveryguides/sustain/overview.php
    
    Extractions: Editor Review Article A new concept in environmental and human affairs was introduced with the Brundtland Declaration of 1987: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Implicit in this often-quoted definition is the idea that the natural environment faces stress and overexploitation and will not be able to indefinitely meet escalating human demands. By itself, the Brundtland definition is insufficient. How does one define "needs," as opposed to wants or even excessive luxury? Is a lowering of living standards acceptable? Is barely enough to eat and minimal shelter good enough? What about education and medical care? Does sustainability imply some equity in distribution of goods, or might an increasing gap between rich and poor meet the sustainability test (if environmental and population stability are achieved)? Is ecosystem health important for itself, or only as it sustains humans? Sustainability's subject is the whole earth

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one billion people lack access to clean water, and two billion people have inadequate sanitation. Almost 1.5 billion people, mostly in cities in the developing world, breathe air below the standards that WHO deems acceptable. The citizens of poor countries need preparation for the changes that will accompany technological advances. AAAS activities focus on improving indigenous science and technology capacity, in the belief that such capacity is essential to maintaining progress toward sustainable development. At the same time, AAAS fosters communication and collaboration across all national borders. The Center for Science, Innovation, and Sustainability is part of AAAS's

    Extractions: We report in this paper, the first determination of the isotope ratio (238/235) in an uranium sample by optical emission spectroscopy on a laser-produced plasma at reduced pressure (2.67 Pa). Investigations aimed at developing a new application of laser ablation for analytical isotope control of uranium are presented. Optimized experimental conditions allow one to obtain atomic emission spectra characterized by the narrowest possible line widths of the order of 0.01 nm for the investigated transition UII 424.437 nm. We show the possibility to achieve a relative precision in the range of 5% for an enrichment of 3.5% U. The influence of different relevant plasma parameters on the measured line width is discussed.
