What we are suffering from today as the greatest sustainability challenge is not poverty, it is not greed, it is not climate change, it is not declining fisheries … or forests or biodiversity. None of those things, though they are very, very important. What we are suffering from today is the lack of competence in our leadership…— Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt, Founder of The Natural Step.

Enough is Enough!
If you read only one report for the rest of the year, we suggest the break-through report, Enough is Enough: Ideas for a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources, written by the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE) and their partner, Economic Justice for All. Enough is Enough takes innovative ideas and drafts them into a blueprint for solving the social and environmental problems plaguing the economy.
It is a comprehensive compilation of policy tools for establishing a steady state economy, an economy that meets people’s needs with fairness and without undermining the life-support systems of the planet.Click here to download a free copy of the report (130 pages), as well as a summary (10 pages). There, you will also find links to videos of keynote presentations from the Steady State Economy Conference in Leeds, England, June 2010.

Our web host purchases “green energy tags,” from a certified green energy supplier who pumps 100% equivalent energy back into the power grid based on the web host’s total energy consumption from traditional sources. This, in effect, eliminates the CO2 emissions from the power that they would have purchased from a non-green energy source.
