Really great and interesting article on what real sustainability looks like and how it's grounded in non-commodifying values.

[@elvisGa98452054](/user/profile/elvisGa98452054) [@Druss](/user/profile/Druss) I'd like to give a short definition of sustainability and discuss the term and related topics. Sustainability can be seen as the management of environmental and resource systems so that their ability to support future generations is not diminished. The term “sustainable development” is more difficult to define, and has given rise to widely different and at times conflicting interpretations. For environmentalists and conservationists it means the process of development towards a truly sustainable economy that respects environmental and resource limits. But too often others use the term sustainable development as a synonym for sustainable economic growth.

Well Said [@elvisGa98452054](/user/profile/elvisGa98452054) Making peace with the biosphere will require building communities and relationships that are focused on protecting life—human and nonhuman

Great long read on making peace with Earth based on these principles: collective governance of natural resources, small-scale production, and regeneration of ecosystems by locals. These sustainable models are real and viable shows ⁦ ashish kothari

We additionally want freedom from centralized financial and monetary management. Many experiments in different currencies and economies primarily based on belief and native exchanges are underway. Perhaps probably the most revolutionary of those is “time banking,” a system for swapping providers based on the precept that every one expertise or occupations advantage equal respect. One can, for instance, give a one-hour-long yoga lesson for credit score that may be redeemed for an hour’s work on bicycle restore.
