Out of curiosity, and because I distrust posts and web pages from groups that seem to advocate something different than their name implies, I Googled "Post Sustainability Institute." I didn't do a huge amount of research, but found this result near the top of my search: http://www.bohemian.com/northbay/hidden-agenda/Content?oid=2190606
In case you don't want to bother clicking, it seems that the people that are running the "institute," and who are behind the web page that Matt linked to, are not all that popular in their own neighborhood. However, Matt is right that there are a lot of people getting worked up about Agenda 21. It keeps popping up as a bete noire invoked by those who feel that any sort of international environmental resolution - even one passed 18 years ago - is a threat to the American Way of Life.
