Is sustainable development a contradiction in terms?

[...] On the basis of 220 working days, these shipments generate greenhouse gas emissions of tons of CO2 equivalent By way of comparison, a round trip from Paris to New York and back by plane emits 1 ton of CO2 equivalent The impact is just as important for queries made on search engines, which are very demanding in terms of data centre usage. Above all, we know that a French Internet user carries out an average of searches on the Internet a day. On this basis, the 29 million French Internet users would cause the record emission of 287,600 tons of CO2 equivalent. This is one of the examples showing the sustainable development contradictions.

And if we don't control the CO2 emissions of data centres, if we cannot make the balance between these high CO2 emissions at eco- friendly ways of living and governing, the goal of sustainable may don't be achieved. Therefore, sustainable development is a contradiction but not something impossible, because as everything, it is all about balance. [...]
