Sustainability - are we missing a trick?

Most models of sustainability consider the dynamic relationship between: industry, society and environment; very few explore the position, role and responsibility of government.

I argue that the dynamic is between: industry, society and government working in a mutually reinforcing and supportive way - and living in the environment as an integral part of it. 

A simple recycle model is developed which moves on from that of the 19th century: extract, process and pollute.
