Extractions: (303) 492-7016 or 492-6952 Text of an invited paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Association Of Physics Teachers meeting in Denver, Colorado, August 16, 1997 Let me express my sincere thanks and admiration for PROFESSOR JANE JACKSON and the others who have worked with her in order to bring some of these crucial environmental topics into our physics classrooms. Many, many, thanks ! We need to know the meaning of sustainability. An understanding of exponential arithmetic is a prerequisite to an understanding of the problems of achieving sustainability. I assume that you are all well acquainted with the arithmetic of exponential growth, and in particular with the fact that steady growth can give astronomically large numbers in a modest period of time. To understand sustainability we turn first to the most widely quoted definition, which is for sustainable development: Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

http://www.nova.edu/ocean/envsust/envsust.html

Extractions: NOW AVAILABLE FOR UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE, OR GENERAL INTEREST (CERTIFICATE) CREDIT This course may be taken by anyone, anywhere, the only requirements being access to the web and proficiency in the English language. Ideal for those seeking professional advancement in their respective fields. Course coordinators are available via email, fax, "snail-mail" and telephone. Course materials and participation can be accessed anytime, anyplace, meaning that you can read the materials and post messages when it is convenient to you. This web-based distance education course highlights more than 25 years of international discussion, debate and ideas, with regard to the state of the environment and our actions towards it. Key considerations and voices are included, from both North and South. This unusual and challenging course avoids the usual categorizations, and instead examines in a cross-cutting approach the environmental and social issues that effect our lives. Students become part of an "international learning community", by participating in on-line closed discussion. The emphasis is on presenting an international range of perspectives and case studies, linking the issues and ideas to up-to-the-moment occurrences as they effect students, when they happen and wherever they are. Arguably, on-line learning is particularly appropriate to an environmental issues course.

Extractions: 2001 Rankings The Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) The Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) is a measure of overall progress towards environmental sustainability, developed for 122 countries. The ESI scores are based upon a set of 22 core "indicators," each of which combines two to six variables for a total of 67 underlying variables. The ESI permits cross-national comparisons of environmental progress in a systematic and quantitative fashion. It represents a first step towards a more analytically driven approach to environmental decision making. The ESI is the result of collaboration among the World Economic Forum's Global Leaders for Tomorrow Environment Task Force, The Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

By raising individual awareness we empower ourselves with a greater capacity for self-reliance, a greater homeland, an earth sanctuary attained without competition, ignorance and wars of conquest but rather with compassion and awareness that every breath is shared with all life, and all the living are brethren, equal under the light of heaven. T HE EARTHNOMAD FOUNDATION was created in 1994 with a global vision and the singular aim of raising awareness of the uniqueness and fragility of our living Earth.
