Ever wonder what the heck is Joyce getting her MA in anyway? What's that woman talking about?
What is Sustainable Development? (this will give you a working definition because you know how everything is debatable and controversial in academia-specially in this field)
Sustainable development is a process of developing (land, cities, business, communities, etc) that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" according to the Brundtland Report, a 1987 report from the United Nations.
Take a Sustainable Development quiz...you know you know whaz up (after being informed on my blog-right? uh...yeah)!
Listen to an interview with good old Jeffrey Sachs, author of "The End of Poverty", on the current state of Sustainable Development.

hey, I'm glad you're doing well. i'm pretty sure i'll visit portland but it's looking like i won't be there the whole summer.
that could change though because my plans are still in the works.
Joyce, your degree sounds pretty interesting. I will read it someday... my to read list is ridiculous right now though. I am really just wondering if you have ever heard of Orion or Wendell Berry? I am going to put this website down with one of Wendell Berry's articles on it. I think at the very least you will find the site interesting and worthy of due consideration.
