Comments on: Cultures of Sustainability http://bitterjug.com/blog/cultures-of-sustainability/ Mark Skipper's continuing adventures Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:52:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Alan http://bitterjug.com/blog/cultures-of-sustainability/#comment-6737 Alan Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:39:29 +0000 http://bitterjug.com/blog/cultures-of-sustainability/#comment-6737 Mark, Sustainability sure is the buzzword these days. I'm reading Paul Hawken's <i>The Ecology of Commerce: A Declaration of Sustainability</i>. It's from 1993 or so, but still incredibly relevant. I've read a lot of heavy stuff about science, religion, and the environment, and this book is even making <b>me</b> cringe. It's apparently got some suggestions/solutions to commerce's inherent problems, but I haven't gotten to that chapter yet. I find myself thinking, "Holy shit, he's right" a LOT! In other news, I just finally convinced the other (Kenyan) lab admin here in Tala that Windows 2000 would run MUCH better on the aging computers we have here. Also, I think this semester is the last batch of students who knew "Mark the mzungu". Take care, Alan http://alaninkenya.org Mark,
