Sustaining Sustainability

I wrote a bit on what sustainability means. “Sustainability” is inherently unsustainable. You might find it amusing. One commenter had this to say:

It is always nice to start a day with a very tongue in cheek commentary.

I wrote the piece in order to smoke out the Malthusian mass murderers. I did catch a few in the comments.

    My company is all about “Sustainability” and “Going Green.” It’s getting so bad that I can’t stand the sound of the actual words anymore. And green used to be one of my favorite colors, too…

    Haha.

    Ask me sometime for an analysis that demonstrates that solar energy is unsustainable.

    “Sustainability” has always puzzled me, especially when I hear it applied to agriculture. You mean int he six or so millennia we’ve been practicing it, we have NOT been doing it sustainably?

    Lucky for us we didn’t use up ALL the arable land, then. Is there enough left?

    Neil… lol. And it’s true. I suspect I could do the same analysis.
