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
