Sustainability is the possibility that humans
and other life will flourish on Earth forever.
Reducing unsustainability, although critical,
will not create sustainability.
I have posted my keynote talk to the International Society for Industrial Ecology on my Other Writings page. It interlaces themes of sustainability and industrial ecology. The slides I used with the talk are also posted here. The venue was the Fifth Biennial International Conference of the Society, held in Lisbon in June, 2009. I used the occasion to announce my retirement as the Executive Director, a post I have held since the Society was founded in 2000.
