PRACTICE WORKSHOP
Energy + Mobility
Carrying Capacity + Proof of Concept / Systems Rough-Casting
“Real security, in other words, is inseparable from issues of energy policy; education; public health; preservation of soils, forests, and waters; and broadly based, sustainable prosperity.” | David W. Orr”
“Sometimes innovation isn’t enough, the system must be totally transformed to respond to extreme disturbance. A system can become over-mature, calcified and slow to change in the face of disturbance. Resilient systems embrace disturbance, using it to ensure periodic transformation.” | The Meadowcreek Project
It is argued that the development of regenerative systems is the most promising method for ensuring a sustainable future – not merely conserving critical natural resources, but even enhancing them over time.” | John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies

Welcome to Workshop Module 9. We’ll continue the dive into measurable systems and carrying capacity through individual exercise work. This will be an on-going iterative process that will continue through the end of the semester. This work is central to the practice of sustainability, as are guidelines and metrics. We’ll continue to explore the ideas and guidelines that feed + nurture sustainability
