More about how sustainability equates to socialism

I can't believe I'm actually reading page after page from educated people that believe trying to limit our impact on environmental systems is an affront to liberty. Your freedom of choice is limiting mine. I would like my children to be able to swim in rivers without fear of swimming in released industrial waste, I would like to walk through mountains that aren't denuded, cut, carted away, and burned for fuel for a fabricated American, European, or third world country dream. I digress, how do you feel about these issues? If we are to continue to populate the world at the rate we currently are, why is planning a bad thing?

Agenda 21 plot Mother Jones reply

Here's an article from Mother Jones concerning the Tea Party's problems with Agenda 21. How would you talk about smart growth and planning issues with people that feel their freedoms are being taken away? I do like the concept of habitation zones. Shouldn't there be places that we save for prosperity? Allow niches for other species to thrive and live the way nature intended them to live? There will be 9 billion humans in 35 years, if biomass is neither created or destroyed but converted, what will be converted into 3 billion more human beings and what amount of resources will it take to support their survival?

Take a look at the concerns of the Tea Party for smart growth and wildlands issues. Are their concerns legitimate? If not through smart growth initiatives and planning how would the party have development grow for the benefit of all?
