Beth:
If you look over the courses linked to our Sustainability
Engineering and Ecological Design curriculum
(http://seed.soe.ucsc.edu/), you may find some useful
material. I try not to get too bogged down in
definitionalism, since that can go on forever...

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,
