What is "sustainability"?
Sustainability has many definitions, but it is most commonly described as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," according to Wikipedia.
LOHAS
is an acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, a term used to describe the market segment interested in green and natural living products, organics, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and socially responsible investing. According to Wikipedia, it is a market worth $227 billion in the United States alone.
Emerging Technologies
For those wanting more in-depth reading on environmentalism and/or the emerging technologies and industries that are taking us towards sustainability, check out the works of eco-icons like William McDonough and Michael Braungart, Amory Lovins, Hunter Lovins, and Paul Hawken, to name but a few. The Worldchanging book: A User's Guide to the 21st Century is also an excellent source of inspiration.
Climate Science
If the “hot glacier on glacier action” in An Inconvenient whet your appetite for the complicated, often confusing world of climate science, there can be no better place to start than Real Climate—it’s much more stimulating than you might think.
Techie Wizardry
Equally, if you want to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in thin-film solar, hydrogen fuel cells, wind energy, heat pumps, or any other techie wizardry, look no further than our friends at Renewable Energy Access.
