Sustain-a-Links #9
October 6th, 2006 | Posted in Recent Readings
Shorter, sweeter, sexier. Five is the new ten people! You heard it here first. This isn’t the best news but it’s often hard to find ten good links to compile into a Sustain-a-Links issue. So, I’m going with five from here on out. Hopefully I can publish the lists more often - to date I’ve often had to spend more than one day compiling good articles to reach a total of ten. No more. Mix in the regular assortment of stories and bam, quality and quantity. Enjoy.

Agriculture | Eat Your Veggies | “Sustainable agriculture is often equated with organic farming or ecological issues, such as fossil-fuel consumption, global warming and food safety. However, sustainability is more than just an environmental issue: it’s economic—if a farmer cannot stay in business today, there is no future for agriculture; and social—if consumers do not demand local produce, imports will continue to account for 90 percent of the state’s available fruits and vegetables.” | Keala Francis, Hawaii Business
Business | Businesses need a sustainable future | “The time of the fast buck is over for responsible companies. The number-one priority now must be sustainable growth. Our horizon has become not just the next quarter, but the next quarter of a century.” | Robert Bruce, CRN
Organization | Garden of Life | “We are a company that nurtures good health and we are fully aware that good health cannot be achieved in isolation from the environment, so we are strong proponents of sustainable business and sustainable lifestyles.”
Petition | New Energy Future | “America has the know-how to move us away from our dependence on oil and toward a cleaner, more secure future. We’re asking citizens to join us in calling on candidates to endorse a bold and sensible plan to move America toward a new energy future.” | Missouri Public Interest Research Group
Seafood | New program provides sustainable seafood information | Maybe if people stopped raping the oceans for food these types of coalitions wouldn’t be needed. Until then . . . | Fort Francis Times
