Summary/Abstract: This paper is based on my Three Conference lectures about the essence of sustainable development, and the critical remarks about Polish literature devoted to this subject. In all publications examined by me authors made references to the Brundtland Report, and quoted definitions of sustainability, but they ignored the fact that this Report has been translated into Polish, and definitions are quite different. Without knowing the basic literature, and on the basis of merely their own intuition many authors gave interpre-tations which might be classified as fantasy. This is caused probably by the fact that the English adjective sustainable has been incorrectly translated as which means balanced.
