Here is the start of a short essay I’ve just added to the Writing and Speaking section: “I have a personal mantra which is close to the surface when I think (or have feelings) about sustainability: ‘We will only sustain a world we find worth sustaining.’ Much of the breadth and profundity of the sustainability challenge is wrapped up in these words, because the ‘we’ who do the work of sustaining will have to be very many disparate yet cooperating people.

The rest of the micro-essay is in the entry called Sustain-able and Sustain-willing. I’m also adding to the Teaching and Learning section a preliminary short statement of a course that could explore the question of who is entangled with whom in the present eco-social dispensation.
