The Sustainability Factor – Booklet Now Available Posted on November 1st, 2009

Earlier in October, I told you I was working on a booklet/white paper about sustainability. Although it took a few days longer than I’d expected, I’ve completed that booklet and now present it to you for reading. The booklet is in e-book format (PDF) and formatted to be read on-screen with each page being about a screen-full on a 15″ monitor at 800dpi.
The booklet is titled The Sustainability Factor: What Sustainability Means and Why You Need to Know.
The booklet is pretty short and presents just enough evidence to get you thinking along new lines in terms of environmental endeavor. Most of the environmental focus is on man-made global warming (aka climate change) and I think there’s a serious mistake in that. Climate change may or may not be a big deal, but even if it is, there are far worse things looming than that and if we take care of those things, global warming would be largely dealt with simultaneously.
The current work towards eliminating CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions is going down the wrong track and if that’s really a problem, fixing it (the way that’s being proposed) will do nothing to fix these other problems that will hit us long before projected global warming disasters do.
Long story short, folks, in the next twenty years, we’re going to have world-wide crop failures and be looking at starvation and drought for all humanity. No earthquakes, floods, rising oceans, lost ice caps, 2 degree temperature increases, or whatever else are going to be the main concern.
The concern will be how we’re going to feed ourselves, clothe ourselves, find something to drink, etc. Global temperatures be damned. Global warming will only make this worse, but won’t be the core of the problem. The core of the problem is peak productions and sudden falloffs in resource availability. Not just Peak Oil, friends.
Peak Everything.
Of course, this little missive isn’t going to convince you. That’s why you should download this short (20-page) PDF and read the booklet. The Sustainability Factor gives a start on the research you can do and I’ll bet that, after you’ve done so, you’ll stop paying attention to Al Gore, “cap and trade,” and Copenhagen and realize what we face and what needs to change right now, starting today.
The booklet is free of charge. If it opens your eyes and you’d like me to continue researching and writing information on this subject, please consider donating. I did this research and wrote this booklet on my own time, voluntarily. I’m offering it to you free of charge, to spread and disseminate to your friends, family, co-workers, elected representatives, whomever you’d like. You can even link to it from this site and save uploading it to your own server or website (cover graphic included).
