As the price of the land went up, they were all filled in with soil and now their houses on the conservation areas. They ate the pig down in Hilton Head. So there’s a good analogy there. And so I use the word sustainable consumption whenever I can. And interestingly… Read More
Nobody knows what sustainable development means. Read More
But guess what?… Read More
He reserved conservation areas that were wetlands places that weren’t very good and building houses, and he called him conservationaries. Read More
Well, that’s like conservation versus sustainable consumption. If you’re a farmer, you gotta have a couple of fields you rotate. You know you’re gonna pick the best of the pigs and then harvest the rest of them. But there’s a guy named Charlie Fraser who built Hilton Head. This is… Read More
