I just read this article in the March 2007 Fast Company:

It's a great overview of many of the sustainable design, culture, and economic issues that I've been working through. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

Items of note //

• Growth of developing nation's urban centers (China in particular) and the lifestyle changes  to follow
• StarSight // a "virtual utility", "stand-alone solar-powered lampposts that also offer WiMax wireless mesh networking, and even charing hookups for small devices like cell phones"
• Kiva // "US organization combining microfinance with a peer-to-peer Internet platform for direct mircoloans to qualified individual entrepreneurs all over the world"
