As a resource manager, I worry about it a lot!  It has become a tag, with the 
connotation that the environment is being protected - if it's sustainable, it 
has to be OK, right?  Unfortunately, it depends on which goals are being 
sustained, and it almost always involves compromise to the environment to 
sustain the level of human development that is the usual goal.  There was a 
great article making this point that I read not long ago, but I lost the 
reference.  But I'm sure ecologgers have some suggestions and citations.

Am I the only one who worries that "sustainability" has more than one 
meaning ranging from the useful, even critical, to a deceptive buzzword?
