Prince Charles and Our Legacy
September 30, 2011
History will not judge us by how much economic growth we achieve in the immediate years ahead, nor by how much we expand material consumption, but by the legacy for our grandchildren and their grandchildren…We are consuming what is rightfully theirs by sacrificing long-term progress on the altar of immediate satisfaction.
