The Center for a New American Dream IS a tremendous resource, Tom.
Sustainable Tompkins hosted a master class with CNADs former executive
director, Betsy Taylor, who still harbors "warm fuzzies" for Ithaca and
our sustainability work. And the annual Alternative Gift Fair was
originally the brainchild of the Center for a New American Dream; we've
just been blessed with some tremendously capable and passsionate folks
locally who have taken up the project and made it now the largest, most
successful such AGF in the nation.
CNADs guidance on how to opt out of junk mail is especially useful.

without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs."

MY NOTE: Sustainable development does not mean "sustainable growth" as
growth per se is not sustainable. And the term "sustainable" has to mean
"for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).
