sustainably managed Explanation: I think you are a little hasty in your condemnation of "sustainably managed". It's listed in the OED, and it is in fact *the* term in English. The US Department of Energy uses it: -> "Commercial ski resorts use wood from sustainably managed forests to fuel their distributed generation." http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/abstracts/new_eng.html As does the House of Representatives: -> "The United States has an enormous stake in seeing this trend reversed and in seeing forests around the world sustainably managed." http://www.house.gov/resources/105cong/forests/sep11.97/rafe...
