Answer 3

We have two choices, become a sustainable civilization or fall into barbarism as resources run out.

It is a pattern repeated throughout history and will repeat again unless enough people get motivated.

There are some of who are working on ways to make it easier to achieve by working on the basic infrastructure of society itself, but even that can only do so much.

People are going to have to break away from the culture of consumerism and selfish apathy, gluttony and sloth or we will all face the music, it is not a question of if, only a question of when.

So by definition, if we can get things sorted out to where they last, then it will be a sustainable society.

There are promising technologies and methods, and many of them will also create new jobs but the single biggest thing we need to address is the population problem.

Population times affluence/comfort level = level of strain on the resource base.
