The effects of environmental degradation are felt long after the activity that has caused them. So it is easy to ignore! Let US JOIN FORCES and eradicate damage to our environment because we have only one earth.

All development has environmental impacts
and all enviromental impacts have social consequences..

Current concerns
ESHIAs seem to have a disconnect between the 'environmental' impact studies and those social consequences
