I've heard "sustainable" applied to all sorts of=20 things. If it's to be anything other than a=20 buzzword to spin almost any bit of fluff into=20 raiments for someone who wants to be "king,"=20 shouldn't it have a single definition that=20 distinguishes its substance from its careless=20 application to, for example, "biofuel" that has a=20 net energy loss to native plants that need no subsidy at all?
Seems a simple definition of just what principle=20 defines it would bring more clarity and less=20 confusion to the issues to which it may be attached, no?
