61. 2004 GRC On Industrial Ecology
    730 pm 930 pm, NANO-TECHNOLOGIES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGYAND sustainability. Discussion Leader Barbara Karn (EPA, Washington, USA).  
    http://www.grc.uri.edu/programs/2004/indust.htm
    
    Extractions: Vice Chair: Valerie Thomas Overarching Theme MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSITIONS The main focus of this conference is on long term, major change - as we suppose a change towards sustainability to be. The interpretation of the term "technology" is broad, comprising the changing ways how biophysical and socio-economic processes have been, are and could be linked. We will seek to understand how well the concepts and tools of Industrial Ecology can deal with such major changes, and what added value this perspective provides. Speakers: Invited speakers only (see program down below). Posters: In the Gordon Conference format, the number of plenary speakers is rather small, so the poster session becomes a key opportunity for participants to present their work. We also wish to encourage students to enter the Student Poster Competition. Poster abstracts are due on April 1, 2004. Later submissions will only be considered if space permits. Abstracts for posters should be submitted to GRC on the online application form and simultaneously to Valerie Thomas ( vmthomas@princeton.edu

According to Garrett Hardin (1991), "carrying capacity is the fundamental basis for demographic accounting." On the other hand, conventional economists and planners generally ignore or dismiss the concept when applied to human beings. Their vision of the human economy is one in which "the factors of production are infinitely substitutable for one another" and in which "using any resource more intensely guarantees an increase in output" (Kirchner et al.

    Extractions: The Unsustainability of Cities Patterns of urban development are a particular focus of concern in the search for a path to a sustainable world. The majority of world cities are vortices of unsustainability, concentrating environmental threats and social and economic distress. As magnets of hope cities have drawn rural populations who, in most developing countries, live in sprawling urban slums, shanty towns, colonias, favelas, or townships. Their economies reflect the growing global inequality of wealth and income distribution. Cities concentrate industrial development and its pollution. Motor vehicles dominate urban transportation systems, producing gridlock, excessive use of valuable land, local air pollution, and greenhouse gases. Cities' massive and inefficient energy consumption wastes resources and generates greenhouse gases. Economic globalization lacks an effective model for sustainable local development.

    Ecological sustainability. Points covered What is sustainability and EcologicallySustainable Development? What are the conditions for sustainability?  
    http://www.amonline.net.au/factsheets/ecological_sustainability.htm
    
    Extractions: @import url("../stylesheets/explore_adv.css"); Back to Explore Back to Fact Sheets Sustainability is the term used to describe developments that meet the needs of today without compromising the ability to meet the needs of tomorrow. Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) is a term which applies to every aspect of living in a sustainable way. There are three broad conditions for sustainability: renewable resources, such as timber and fish, should be used no faster than they are able to be renewed. non-renewable resources like coal and oil should only be used within the rate of substitution by alternatives. wastes should only be produced within the ability to process or assimilate them. The most important things we should sustain are healthy, functioning ecosystems and their species. Not only do they provide us with life-support services such as food, water and oxygen, they also nourish us aesthetically and spiritually. Furthermore, they have their own right to exist without the threat of human destruction. However, at present, we are not living sustainably in Australia; our farming practices cause erosion, salinisation and acidification of soils, and river pollution. This means that food production is not sustainable with current methods. As well, farming, mining, logging, urban expansion and recreation are destroying biodiversity and natural habitats.

    Extractions: Sustainable Building Resource Sustainable building should be an important component of creating sustainable development. The success of sustainability in general and sustainability in the built environment in particular is very much dependent on overcoming professional barriers and sharing information. The compilation and dissemination in electronic format of documents concerned with sustainable building provide substantial benefits for those who are able to access Internet, but the development and maintenance of web resource services demands co-operation among many actors since is both time and effort consuming.

    http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/agnic/agnic.htm
    
    Extractions: Web Site. Some terms defy definition. "Sustainable agriculture" has become one of them. In such a quickly changing world, can anything be sustainable? What do we want to sustain? How can we implement such a nebulous goal? Is it too late? With the contradictions and questions have come a hard look at our present food production system and thoughtful evaluations of its future. If nothing else, the term "sustainable agriculture" has provided "talking points," a sense of direction, and an urgency, that has sparked much excitement and innovative thinking in the agricultural world. The word "sustain," from the Latin sustinere (sus-, from below and tenere, to hold), to keep in existence or maintain, implies long-term support or permanence. As it pertains to agriculture, sustainable describes farming systems that are "capable of maintaining their productivity and usefulness to society indefinitely. Such systems... must be resource-conserving, socially supportive, commercially competitive, and environmentally sound." [John Ikerd, as quoted by Richard Duesterhaus in "Sustainability's Promise," Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Jan.-Feb. 1990) 45(1): p.4. NAL Call # 56.8 J822]

71. The Realities Of Restoration Ecology In Sustainable Development
    Get a sense for how restoration ecology fits into this mix by reading about someof the following topics. Return To SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION.  
    http://www.eeeee.net/sd03071.htm
    
    Extractions: As the ultimate ecosystem engineers, humans have distorted global ecological processes, causing deforestation, desertification, and other damage. Many view the concept of restoration ecology as a process of "returning ecosystems to some pre-conceived natural state." They believe the answer to this destruction is ecological restoration that offers practical, realistic strategies for helping nature's architecture reassert itself (Alcoze, T.A., W.W. Covington, and P.Z. Fule. 2000. Restoration Ecology. Science 287: 2159) In the case of forests for example, this is often thought of as trying to reconstruct how an ecosystem looked centuries ago, to a human pre- settlement look (Kloor, K. 2000. Science 287: 573-575). But, even the most well-intentioned conservation activities can run afoul of what is really happening in nature.

Topics Covered A Call to Sustainability : The goal of a sustainable society is popular, but difficult to define. How does the way our society functions affect the earth, and how can we be "a blessing to the planet"? Ecological Principles : Some argue that the earth is the best teacher of sustainable practices. How can nature's organizing principles be applied in design, production of goods, and everyday living? Sustainable Communities : The more resources we use in the course of daily living, the larger our "ecological footprint" is. By looking at our actions within the framework of communities, we can learn to shrink that footprint and gain a simpler, more balanced lifestyle.

Earth WISE consists of a bibliography and selected abstracts of academic writings exploring a range of social and ecological science perspectives on sustainable development. This compilation attempts to integrate the social, cultural, economic and ecological dimensions of sustainability, giving special attention to the human causes of environmental impacts, the social organization of sustainability and the equity of sustainable development. Our goal is to assist educators, students, business leaders, elected officials, public administrators and other community members in understanding the topic of sustainability. It is our hope that this increased understanding will promote well-informed, sustainable and equitable policies in both the private and public sectors. Earth WISE is a working bibliograpy, and is continuously in the process of being updated. We welcome your comments in this effort.
