Development_Yes or No

Hi everyone,
Today is Friday, when we will finish temporarily the work-in-week. All us have had a busy week but in effect. Thanks so much for all our effort, and have a nice day.
As you know, everyday we use many many petrol, oil, and electricity as well. There are also many other thing for us to know, to think and to do. And we haven't often got enough time and full interest to know an envident fact that for all our energies, many many big pipeline, large dam building projects have been proposed and conducted that lead to an obvious other fact, how many habitants who live in or along with the project area were affected in many ways, too. Some ought to relocate, some must live in environment affected, and almost are living without sustainable livelihood. Almost don't get adequate and efficient energy and other conditions living, such as fresh water, information, care and education, too. And that fact is still continuing. As you see, almost such projects come from a small number of TNCs (transnational co-oporations) from developed countries funded by a minority of big Banks (international financial institutions_IFIs). Those projects are occuring in all coutries, the developing countries. And they call those are development projects.
Thus, what is development, what is community based project, and how to get a strong law for environment and development, etc. There are still too many such questions needed considering as a prerequisite within our work, and our life.
Environment, human and interests, they are never seperated of any reason.
Sorry for just above short comment. But I allways hope and strongly believe in our efforts for a sound environment as well as a sustaintable development. I am very glad to meet your comments.
Thanks for your attention,
TaLong
