Human society is facing multiple crises. Our main method for dealing with them is technology, and we do so ignoring that similar use of technology is what brought about the crises in the first place. We use technology in attempt to remove all boundaries that stop us from getting what we want, when we want it. We are no longer able to adapt ourselves; we only know how to adapt the environment around us. Accepting our limitations and those of nature is not an option, and we struggle towards finding technological solutions that can make our desired lifestyles sustainable.
For many, the word «sustainability» is dead, either through overuse or misuse or a combination of the two. I think the term still encompasses how we need to approach the way we live, but most of us are not able or willing to see the true costs of our consumption, and therefore cannot understand what it takes to actually live sustainably. Ideally, we would not only embrace sustainability, but also frugality. Instead of using as much as our available resources allow in the long term, we should only be using as much as we actually need, which is not much.
On this page, I collect online resources that inspire and inform on the topic of sustainable living. In this context, I use the terms "sustainability" and "sustainable" to mean having respect for our own and nature's limitations, ensuring that humans and nature can co-exist indefinitely with minimal harms and losses. I have a bias towards focusing on digital technology, due to my line of work, but I also collect resources from other domains.
