"We are standing at the precipice of hell. The western model of growth is inherently toxic. It's highly capital intensive, and highly resource intensive, uses a lot of materials, uses a lot of energy, and generates a lot of waste. If every Indian was to live like an American, then the planet is doomed. And the planet is doomed forever." -- Sunita Narain, in the PBS television program Frontline, episode titled "Heat", aired (in my area anyhow) 2008-10-21. (Ms. Narain appears at about the twenty-minute mark.)
