[GMW #4274] Sustainability, Nurturing Applied To All Sectors Of Economics

[GMW #4274] Sustainability, Nurturing Applied To All Sectors Of Economics Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4662 ~
During my studies of economics at Columbia University immediately after World War II we were told that since air and water were free they had no value and therefore had no place in economics.

Well, how wrong that statement is today! The water industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and the fresh air, oxygen industry will soon be too.

Question:
Which are our values of today which will be considered harmful and abnormal in fifty or in a hundred years? To live in overpopulated cities will almost certainly be a case.  To use excessively air travel and automobile transportation will be another.

The notion of sustainability is a new, very important factor to be applied to many sectors of economics.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

[GMW #3965] A World University Of Sustainability With Action Plans

[GMW #3965] A World University Of Sustainability With Action Plans Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4358 ~
I recommend that a World University of Sustainability be created to study the concept, recommendations and actions for sustainability in a large number of fields from consumption to air traffic, to road transportation, to all parts of the natural elements of our planet which might degrade and vanish if we do not acquire an overall philosophy, strategy and action plans to prevent it.

Right human relations are not all: we must also find our right cosmic relations, our relations with God, the universe and eternity.

[GMW #2074] Cessation Of Endless, Unlimited Development And Unsustainability

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1217 ~    9 November 1997

The notion of sustainable development is now an accepted concept, after fifty years of endless, unlimited development.  Still we must go one step further and speak of unsustainable, Earth destroying development, and speak of the cessation of growth in many cases and places of the Earth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
The greatest, most advanced, most enduring, most treasured beloved human beings on this planet are not the kings, emperors, presidents, businessmen, not even inventors and scientists.  They are the great spiritual leaders, the great artists like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, the builders of cathedrals and Taj Mahals.

Alas, in our current, materialistic society this chain of the truly great ones has been broken.  Their birth is smothered by the noise, cheapness, material and money craze of modern society. 

Our best hope rests in a spiritual, classical Renaissance.
