Sustainability
When a word becomes so popular you begin hearing it everywhere, in all sorts of marginally related or even unrelated contexts, it means one of two things. Either the word has devolved into:

1. A meaningless clich, or 2. It has real conceptual heft.

Sustainability
But sustainable, which at first conjures up a similarly vague sense of environmental virtue, actually belongs in the second.

It has real conceptual heft.

Despite its simplicity, however, sustainability is a concept people have a hard time wrapping their minds around.

Definition of Sustainable Development:


development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)

Myth 2:
Sustainability is all about the environment.

If too many of us use resources
inefficiently or generate waste too quickly for the environment to absorb and process, future generations obviously wont be able to meet their needs.

Myth 3: Sustainable is a synonym for green.

Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
Although theres a fair amount of overlap between the terms, green usually suggests a preference for the natural over the artificial. With some six billion people on the planet today, and another three billion expected by the middle of the century, society cannot hope to give them a comfortable standard of living without a heavy dependence on technology and things like genetically altered food products.

Myth 4: Its all about recycling.

Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
I get that a lot, says Shana Weber, the manager of sustainability at Princeton University. For some reason, recycling was the enduring message that came out of the environmental movement in the early 1970s. And of course, recycling is important: reusing metals, paper, wood and plastics rather than tossing them reduces the need to extract raw materials from the ground, forests and fossil-fuel deposits.

The most important areas by far in terms of sustainability are energy and transportation. If you think you are living sustainably because you recycle, she says, you need to think again.

Myth 5: Sustainability is too expensive.

Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
If there is an 800-pound gorilla in the room of sustainability, this myth is it. Thats because, theres a grain of truth to it. But only a grain. Its only true in the short term in certain circumstances, but certainly not in the long term.

Sustainability
Because we already have an unsustainable system in place, we have to spend some money up front to switch to a more sustainable technology and way of life.

More sustainable ways of doing things usually costs less over the lifetime of a product or service. It is the upfront costs that can be higher (cheaper material cheaper in more ways than one).

Myth 6: Sustainability means lowering our standard of living.

Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
Not at all true.
It does mean that we have to do more with less. It does not mean that we have to go back to the Stone Age Jeff Jacoby

Once we start to organize ourselves and innovate, the breakthroughs are extraordinary.
They will allow us to use resources more productivity, which in turn allow us to be prosperous, fed, entertained, secure. The innovation at the heart of sustainable living will be a powerful economic engine.

Myth 7: Consumer choices and grassroots activism, not government intervention, offer the fastest, most efficient routes to sustainability.
Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
Popular grassroots actions are helpful and ultimately necessary. But progress on some reforms, such as curbing CO2 emissions, can only happen quickly if central authorities commit to making it happen. That is why tax credits, mandatory fuelefficiency standards and the like are pretty much inevitable.

Sustainability
Still, rising energy prices have had the effect of again galvanizing research into wind, solar and other alternativesand if you leave economic disruption aside, we can at least count on car companies to make more efficient vehicles and on utilities to find more sustainable sources of energy. It creates innovation!
But that outcome may reflect another myth.

Myth 8: New technology is always the answer.

Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
Not necessarily.
During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama made the tactical mistake of pointing out that proper tire inflation could save Americans millions of gallons of gasoline through better fuel economy. The Republicans ridiculed him, just as they did President Jimmy Carter for appearing on TV in a sweater during the energy crisis of the late 1970s. Both Carter and Obama were right.

Myth 9: Sustainability is ultimately a population problem.

Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
This is not a myth, but it represents a false solution. Every environmental problem is ultimately a population problem. If the worlds population were only 100 million people, we would be hardpressed to generate enough waste to overwhelm natures cleanup systems. We could dump all our trash in a landfill in some remote area, and nobody would notice.
Free Powerpoint Templates

Sustainability
Population experts agree that the best way to limit population is to educate women and raise the standard of living generally in developing countries. But that strategy cannot possibly happen quickly enough to put a dent in the population on any useful timescale. The U.N. projects that the planet will have to sustain another 2.6 billion people by 2050. But even at the current population level of 7 billion, were using up resources at an unsustainable rate.

Myth 10: Once you understand the concept, living sustainably is a breeze to figure out.

All too often, a choice that seems sustainable turns out on closer examination to be problematic.
