Hilarity Ensues

Here is the definitions from several MIT students.  "Sustainability  
is: not f..king things up for the next generation and a cyclical  
progress that moves upwards in a spiral."  "Sustainability is when  
things are 'green' like cob houses." "Sustainability means doing  
things in a way such that they can be maintained indefinitely."   
"Sustainability is the 3 E's:  Economy (profitable), Equity (no  
marginal social cost), and Environment (zero net impact) and also when  
people stop complaining.  It's not just about stopping climate change."

There's more, but Enough!
