Survey: Is Our Way of Life Sustainable?

I’m wondering if I could ask your help in another of our surveys.

There is not too much doubt that the last 150 years have brought ever-accelerating damage to our environment. There IS, however, a great deal of controversy about the ultimate consequences of this damage to mankind and the life-forms that share the planet with us.

In particular, I note that great minds studying this subject come to two different and mutually exclusive conclusions. People like Amory Lovins and Jeremy Rifkin present very compelling cases that migrating to a low-carbon energy schema will drive a robust economy. Others, notably Bill McKibben and Nate Hagens, don’t see this at all, claiming that, because we’ve reached the end of cheap energy and freely available credit, “the party’s over.”

This survey is an opportunity for you to provide your own assessment.  If you click the link below, you’ll be taken to a page on which you can agree or disagree with various propositions concerning the sustainability of our economy, our use of energy, and our overall way of life.  Thanks very much for your ongoing support.
