Defining "Sustainability" by Illustrating the Concept Using Modeling. Defining "Sustainability" by Illustrating the Concept Using Modeling (instead of by merely describing it).Draft in progress One great obstacle for achieving a sustainable future for humanity is that the term "sustainability"/"sustainable" is being understood differently by different people.
Without understanding what "sustainability" should be about, how can we ever become "sustainable"? There would be less confusion in this if, instead of defining the term by describing it, the definition would be clearly illustrated by modeling any instances of anything "sustainable" in models. Proving whether anything would or wouldn't be sustainable could be done by "evolving" in models the whatever supposedly sustainable situation from a simple, clearly sustainable one to the desired level, step by step, making sure at each step that the whichever situation depicted would remain strictly sustainable and so be able to demonstrate the sustainability of any supposedly sustainable system in question.

A sustainable world can never be fully realized until it is widely envisioned. The vision must be built up by many people before it is complete and compelling. (Meadows 2004, p273)You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.* (* attributed to Buckminster Fuller, though I have not been able, so far, to find the source)One can--and eventually must--decide that a fate is an inadequate substitute for a future. (Umair ) We have to know what kind of a world we want to live in, if the one that we live in now we don't like. ...

Designing a Lasting World Peace Together. (Translated to Esperanto) Over the ages most people always desired to live in a permanent state of peace; they prayed for it, imagined it, worked for it continuously since time immemorial. Lasting "Peace on Earth" is the goal of many religions and philosophies. The reason that, so far, no lasting peace in the world materialized yet is due to our (sometimes great) differences in what we mean when we say "peace on Earth". Knowing that every time of peace in human history ended in a war, what should "Peace on Earth" look like, so it would not result in a war again? Unless we can answer this question, we can never achieve real "Peace on Earth".
So that we do indeed arrive at a reality that would be preferred by all, we have to first see what it actually is that we, collectively, want!

Their guests paid $17.50 a week and had to bring their own tents. There was no grand plan. What started as the Essene School of Life health camp on a barren expanse of land in the middle of nowhere developed into the internationally known fitness and health spa Rancho La Puerta, which was recently named the world’s best destination spa by Travel & Leisure magazine. “I don’t have time to get old,” said Szekely, who does Pilates three times a week. From Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Teachings of the Essenes from Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls by Order a hard copy of From Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls To all those who perceive that peace for the whole depends upon the effort of the individual.
The several chapters of this book are compiled from material antedating the findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947. During the twenty preceding years, 1927 to 1947, I wrote and published a number of books on the Essenes based on certain historical sources such as the works of Josephus Flavius, Philo and Plinius, and on manuscripts in the Library of the Vatican, the Library of the Habsburgs in Vienna and the Library of the British Museum. When the first discoveries at Qumrum became public and many persons urged me to publish an interpretation of these new findings, I decided to do so in two volumes.

Cloud Tools for Your Nonprofit by Brian Roemen on Prezi. One Community Promotes a Holistic Approach to Sustainability. By now, most people know that the necessary resources and technology exist to feed, house, and provide energy for every person on the planet. Self-replicating, self-sufficient communities, villages, and cities would provide a strategy to put the necessary technology and resources where they are needed most. For this to happen, a working model with widespread appeal is being created. It will be affordable, applicable across a diversity of cultures, easily accessible, created so that normal people with average knowledge and little or no experience can duplicate it, and it will have a marketing engine capable of exposing enough people to build the necessary momentum for it to continue duplication on its own. One Community To help facilitate the shift from where we are now to what we know is possible, One Community (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was formed after 15 years of planning with the mission to provide non-profit leadership.
