Is Sustainability Natural?
How will we know when we will have achieved a sustainable world? What are the success criteria for a sustainable world? In pondering these questions I realized that sustainability may be unnatural.
Sustainability is an unnatural state of affairs, at least according to my previous working definition of sustainability.
A project of Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV) in conjunction with public and private sector partners, EcoCloud is a virtual space where you can connect with Silicon Valley business leaders, industry experts, researchers and policy makers--striving to make our enterprises and our region more ecologically, equitably, and economically sustainable.
To support our partners in achieving their goals, some of the resources SSV provides are:
- Educational forums on a wide range of environmental and energy topics
- Ongoing exchange of best practices
- Training in “green” practices
