11. The Sustainability Decision Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around . That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable . – Milton Friedman
12. What Does Sustainability Mean in Greensburg? “ We have learned that sustainability does not just mean green building. It is time and energy, lifestyle changes, and education, building relationships. This means we are focused not on right now or two years from now, but 20 years from now. We are planning for our grandchildren.”
