From Environment to Sustainability

Since I started on a quest to better understand our environmental footprint, I was exposed to Sustainability as a holistic concept, thanks to James Farrar, I am blogging once again.

Ok. So that interrelationship between all aspects of our lives (social, economic, environmental) should have been obvious. But it wasn't. And for 99.9% of the world that awareness is just dawning. Is this a call to action to work together on unprecedented global scale or is it second fiddle to localized needs of the day. And if it is the latter, what can we do to make enough of an impact to turn things into a direction that will be effective. In the 150th year anniversary of "Origin of Species", how viable are we? That is what sustainability is really about. Is there a Sustainable Footprint for our species on a macro level that translates to an organizational and individual level?
