This assignment is for participants in the Sustainable Environment RAP, living in Mary Lyon dorm during the fall semester of 2008. Please read the article posted here: Sustainability is Dead. This file is a pdf and will require Adobe Reader, which is available free here.
Pay particular attention to pages 12 to the end, and the author's thinking on the need for sustainability to be integrated into all work.
In the context of this assignment, work may not be the same as career. If it is for you thats fine. If not, no worries. We all must work, that is we all have something to contribute to life. Your work may or may not be for pay. It may or may not be a career.
Then, think about how your own work and/or career goals might contribute to the quest for sustainability as described by AtKisson. Finally, post to this blog sharing your thoughts on your work/career goals and the quest for sustainability.
To stretch your thinking about sustainable work, you might explore my web page listing of "sustainable jobs".
And if these specific jobs don't interest you, you might explore the links at the top of my jobs page to other job sites related to the environment, sustainability and social justice.
