Example called Treebanking shows sustainable business practices; good for man and beast


I found this video from a new website called Ecosector. This video is about 4 minutes long and shows one strong example of how restoration of depleted rainforest can mean jobs for the local community while providing habitat and for animals. The next video titled, "Caterpillar" shows our current idea of growth. It is not sustainable.

Found a Database of Sustainable Development Resources in USA. Use to be open only to the government. They have now opened it to the general public.

Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise

I've had a few days off from work and have been trying to pick up where I left off this summer. I wish there was more universities that offer degrees, seminars, certificates in sustainable development. Wikipedia had a good write up about the difference between what "sustainable development" and "green development." Both are important but with slight differences. Cornell and Yale are giants in these movements. I'm anxious to read Stuart and see hear what he has to say. I wish I could take some classes there...
Here are some important programs.
