		<description><![CDATA[Jamais Cascio wonders how we can live within our means when those means can change beneath us, sometimes swiftly and unexpectedly (via foreignpolicy). According to Cascio, sustainability is not enough if it is seen as &#8220;the right combination of behavior and technology that allows us some measure of stability&#8221;. &#8220;A sustainable world can avoid imminent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My 2002 book stressed “closing the loops”, and we’ve since learned much about how this can be done. In one key moment, physicist Mae-Wan Ho half-accidentally discovered that “living organisms appear like a dynamic liquid-crystal-display”. This must mean, reasoned Ho, that living organisms are highly organized, and &#8220;coherent energy is being mobilized and transformed in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re seeing lots of programs and designs these days that boast &#8220;innovative sustainability features&#8221;. Pinch me! A few short years ago, the &#8220;S&#8221; word was still too &#8220;hot&#8221; for polite company. Now, much of our conversation about sustainability leaves me cold. Why? Because we don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re talking about. Here are some quick tips [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My grandots in snow country will love this one! It&#8217;s a real howler about our &#8220;system blindness&#8221;. And about how un-sustainability means doing all the wrong things. Wudja believe all that road salt we spread for &#8220;safety&#8221; purposes actually ends up somewhere else&#8230;like our groundwater and streams. (You mean there is no &#8220;away&#8221; place we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we track and anticipate climate change in these islands, the one certainty seems to be that we are in for â€œweirdâ€ weather. For example, the record-cold December on Kaua`i (see chart) and the recent Hanalei gusher that broke records (and gauges) certainly qualify as &#8220;Black Swan events&#8221;&#8211;things previously thought to be rare that occur [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Embedding balanced thinking in every day life is an essential part of the &#8220;resource literacy&#8221; we&#8217;re promoting, right? So, sustainability thinking involves much broader awareness of emissions &#8216;metrics&#8217;&#8230;like the numbers in this chart. Wanna know the relative emissions impacts of, say, plastic bags versus driving. Here ya go! Let&#8217;s see: if we use an average [...]]]></description>
