For a new "introduction to sustainability" course I'm involved in, we're seeking definitions of sustainability (which can include sustainable development). On the first day of class (soon!) we want to look at the range of different ways people define the term, which means we're seeking as wide a variety of definitions as possible. (This is course co-taught with a business school and an engineering school, so we're going for breadth.)
If you have/use/are aware of interesting/useful/problematic defintions of sustainability and can pass them on to me, I'd be extremely grateful. You don't have to *like* the definitions you send -- this is just starting material for a broader exercise. Thanks, Beth Elizabeth R.
