Introduction

      Many people consider sustainability to be primarily concerned with green energy and design. This isn't necessarily wrong; in practice, most sustainability initiatives deal with those two things. But sustainability as a whole is a far more nuanced topic, one that can perhaps be summarized as dealing with all things that concern prolonging the survival of systems, man-made and natural. Discussing it is thus more than weighing the respective benefits of wind, nuclear, and solar power; it is to discuss entire systems that relate to the activities and survival of both humans and the entire natural world. Educational practices, justice systems, economic markets, energy usage, thought processes, and much more, can all be examined with a sustainable eye, one that questions the efficacy of varying practices in their relation to ensuring the longest possible survival of the planet and its species. 
     
       This blog will attempt to discuss sustainable practices in a far more nuanced and approachable manner than normal, examining sustainability in all types of institutions. The topics covered will sometimes be picked from a large pool of modern day controversies, but all conclusions will be meticulously researched with conclusions presented in a partisan manner. Most posts will attempt to propose a solution regarding the issue, but this will not always be possible or applicable with the topic. Since the economics of sustainability is also currently gaining traction, I'll likely also spend time every so often examining the viability of various industries, noting their current market state, and how they can likely maintain or even better it in the coming years.
     
      This blog's goal is to promote the viability of sustainable practices as a solution to the myriad dilemmas of the day, sparking intelligent discourse about the multi-faceted nature of issues. If this appeals to you, follow me and join the discussion.
