Return to E-mail Discussion page There is an excellent
section in today's Oregonian (Thurs. Nov. 1) put together by the
Oregon State U. Extension Service, called "Looking for Oregon's
Future: What is Sustainability?" It's also available on-line
at It's a relatively well-balanced look at the issue of deciding what kind of communities (or world) we want for ourselves and future generations, and then figuring out what actions in our daily life are necessary make that possible and sustainable. So it ties in nicely with many of the discussions we've had on-line and in courses: the importance of knowledge about the natural world both for helping us formulate the "worldview" which helps us decide what is important, and for helping us choose actions that produce the outcomes we want.
