Initial Post: From The Post Carbon Institute’s What is Sustainability: 'Unfortunately, in recent years the word sustainable has become widely used to refer merely to practices that are reputed to be more environmentally sound than others. Often the word is used so carelessly as to lead some environmentalists to advise abandoning its use. Nevertheless, the concept is indispensable and should be the cornerstone for all long-range planning.' By Monday of Week 2, post on the following using supporting information from the required reading: 1. Why is narrowing the definition of sustainability to the environmental dimension incorrect? What other dimensions of sustainability should we be sure to consider? 2. How can we be sure we use the terms sustainable/sustainability correctly? How does the fact that these terms might mean different things to different groups of people factor in? 3. Describe one recent example where you have seen the terms sustainable or sustainability being misused or used questionably? If nothing immediately comes to mind, keep an eye out for examples for a few days as you work, eat, shop, etc. Response posts: By Wednesday of Week 2, respond to at least two posts. In the scenario above describing the incorrect us of the term sustainable, can you think of additional factors that should be considered if the term is to be used correctly. Use information from the assigned readings to support your post. See rubric for grading criteria.
