Sustainability: Sufficiency vs. Efficiency

This weeks featured discussion is on sustainability: what are some ideas that could be implemented in order to promote sustainability within the modern economy? Thought: If capitalism is dependent on continual growth we will soon run out of resources, is there a way to promote capitalism and sustainability at the same time? i.e efficiency and sufficiency

We will also be highlighting one organization every two weeks that has made an impact in social change around the world. If you would like to nominate a group feel free to post a comment including their website address. Check our blogroll for a quick link.
