Sustainability

I had an interesting talk with a woman yesterday on the subject of sustainability, in particular, should we be anticipating a good or a bad end to all this?

The woman suggested that maybe it doesn’t “end,” which, of course, would be a good thing.

The problem is that we either do or do not achieve sustainability.  If we don’t, we are, by definition, heading for a disaster, or a set of disasters, whether they come by means of loss of land mass, famine, a vast epidemic, shortages of potable water, etc.
