Statement from the President of the Cuban Book Institute at the meeting of Commander Fidel Castro with intellectuals in Havana on February 10, 2012,
The Earth is home to all men, women and children who inhabit it…We have no right to condemn the 2 billion human beings who will be born over the next 40 years to a life of despair, under a sky clouded by millions of tons of greenhouse gases and a sun that seems to shine less brightly every day…
The report that celebrated scientists have warned that ‘dramatic action is needed to avert a collapse of world cvilisation’ makes a perfect complement to and corroboration of Zuleica’s moving statement. “The perpetual growth myth … promotes the impossible idea that indiscriminate economic growth is the cure for all the world’s problems, while it is actually the disease that is at the root cause of our unsustainable global practices”, they say.
