Sustainability...
What does sustainability mean to you?
What sustainability means to me is everyone working together to create the whole. That is to say that everyone has a role, part, position that they need to play to create the masterpiece. If you step up a role or back someone needs to fill that position to re-create unity. As a whole its not replacement, its re-creation.
Thinking about pixels on a picture, one individual pixel is beautiful. It is individual, no two pixels are the same. They may be the same shape and color but each has an individual role in sustaining and maintaining the beauty of the entire picture.
If multiple pixels on the picture are fighting and stirring up the entire picture how can unity be accomplished to create the masterpiece? When the pixels settle down re-arraigning takes place we create a new masterpiece. Lets create a new masterpiece, its time for the pixels to settle down. In creating the new masterpiece i hope we will find that we have built a stronger, unified, un-broken masterpiece.
Who's with me? Take the pledge now...
If you are not against me, you are with me. If you are against me, please share your point of view as you are also a person and I recognize that. I will also share my point of view and we can find common ground to re-create the masterpiece.
Please post your replies!

I agree with “Justin Boland” and “The Reverend of Divine Anger”, but there are some issues that were not covered. The U.S. as a nation and part of the whole of sovereign nations is not sustained right now. America is not sustaining its citizens; we are not being provided for and we are not valid. Take a look at two horrible tragedies: 9/11 and the New Orleans Flood. 9/11 was an upsetting occurrence with many deaths. The U.S. acted quickly to remedy the situation because the falling of those towers attacked the political structure of the U.S. New Orleans was also an upsetting event put forth by nature; it was not attacked by people and did not upset the natural structure and order of our nation. Because structure and order were not damaged the U.S. did not need to save its people, its citizens. Many died and many continue to either not have shelter or live in single mobile homes. It is not the people that America cares about. We are not sustained.
It will be difficult to come to a sustainable lifestyle. Even if a sustainable lifestyle is at or just above a break-even; we are still not even close to that point. It will take, what seems like, never ending work to get there and once were there, or before we even reach sustainability, we can work on creating super-abundance situations for ourselves and our planet. In our current state with the way individuals are trained by our social regimes we need a system. We need to become sustainable before we can become super-abundant. FWT is here for both, but we need cohesive and cooperative communities and street teams before we can act at our highest potential. Without teamwork we will fail like a human body; imagine you want to go for a run and your heart doesn’t feel like pumping above your RHR. Your muscles will fatigue, quickly, and you might pass out or worse die. FWT will not die, we will not fail!

For me, Sustainability means a system that'll work..
And not just for a set-period of time.
Something that's considered flawless to the public,
but something we can all enjoy.
Having said this, today's society's in a mess.
The monetary-system has been a flaw-filled system ever since 1913, [100+ YEARS!]
that's forced us into a cycle we call "life". Working. What for?
not for the better of humanity.. not for self interest.. but for MONEY.
Sadly, that's all the world's worth now-a-days..
But I'm COMPLETELY ready to change this!
Anyone with me, PLEASE; send me a message, or any other sign
saying you agree with me. I'm only SEVENTEEN, and I'm ALREADY sick
of "life" and what it's been worth.
I'm not "pissed" per se.. but I'm frustrated for sure, and READY FOR CHANGE!

If you're not pissed, then you haven't dug deep enough. Zeitgeist is not the end all answer nor does it provide all the truths about our "reality". You are on the right track. Just remember to use critical thinking, logic and self determination in your (re)search.

I love the deepening of this conversation about "sustainability." It's like a fractal- we're not living sustainably and that's reflected in every system of every size- from the personal to the global. And I think the analogy to a human body is perfecto. 'Cause that's what it is! And we've been shipping a bunch of the toxins (including oppression & repression) to "over there"...and it turns out, they blow right back over in the breeze, or rain down on us when we most need sustanance. It's all one, and luckily we still have our bright eyes & hope, but systems are overburdened, needing cleansing and rest...
Caroline Casy talks about composting everything we're done with--yes bannana peels and such, but also tyranny & greed. In fact, if we compost it, we have an ever abundant source of composted nutrients and energy! She replaces it in her language and whenever she wants to "end" or "do away with something," she says "compost" instead. Try it for a week. It's fun...
I can just imagine coorporate greed; negligence over there in a heap beside the carrot tops & bannanna peels withering as nature does her/his thang! yeah...

"Sustainability, then, is not an individual property but a property of an entire web of relationships. It always involves a whole community. This is the profound lesson we need to learn from nature. The way to sustain life is to build and nurture community." ~Fritjof Capra
