Sustainability is the capacity to endure-responsibly. We've already exceed the population capacity the Earth can hold, no matter the statistics or the projected
holding capacity. When there are people living in poverty, children suffering from lack of food while other nations, our nation, suffers from obesity, when we can no longer look after our own then we should not continue to grow or "progress." I believe in environmental wisdom worldview where we are reliant on the Earth to survive and whether we prosper or not, if the Earth cannot function then there is no possible way for us to succeed as a species. We have to focus on developing our expertise not only to make our way of life more sustainable but for preservation as well.

Each inevitably ends up in a land fill as the next new gadget rolls out. There needs to be a line drawn between what we need, how we take care of it, and what we can live without, otherwise it just ends up here...
