Moderating team: Dimitris Tselios proposes the phrase Sustainable Life, which includes all life forms, rather than sustainable development.
Dimitris Tselios propone la frase Vida Sostenible en vez de Desarrollo Sostenible. Dice que la primera incluye todas las formas de vida.

Better Phrase than Sustainable Development is Sustainable Life.
The problematic word was "development"; it implies domination, human expansion and it is economy-focused.
Life include humans and all other lifeforms within GAIA. Sustainable should be kept to do the rest of the job, remind us that life is not sustainable when resources are ab-used and one species dominates all LIFE-support means.
Life is a word people can understand and identify with!!!!
