Ecolog and Schulze:
With The usual applications of sustainable strike me as practically
meaningless and little more than greener than some other conventional
alternative, Schulze lets the elephant out of the closet.
Let there be honesty. His definition is a good one, too, although I will

I'll start off:
Sustainability = the biosphere of the Earth continuing to exist in a
state which can sustain complex life-forms
This is how I define sustainability in my book:

I define a sustainable process as one that does not degrade the conditions
or processes that it depends upon.
But, we don't know the effects of our actions well enough to confidently
classify current actions vis-a-vis sustainability (except in obviously
