i believe tackling a sustainability budget is one of the most important tasks of our time
for without it we are just wandering aimlessly into the future
everyone is playing the game that has no rules
leadership is making critical decisions without proper guidance
this budget requires lots of expert scientific knowledge
it will also require a lot of gut & heart
very difficult decisions will be required at times
there will be many dependent variables included in its calculations
it will be ever-changing through time
and will need to be constantly adjusted to reflect new realities as time marches forward
it will never be 100% accurate
at times it may even be way off
but the one thing it must be at all times is conservative
it should assume the worse
but hope for better than this
it should promise a minimum and deliver at times a little more
but at other times we know it will deliver less to some generations
it will require a majority of all people agree it is better than anything else imaginable
it should also clearly communicate events & scenarios
that will knock it on its ass
like major natural disasters
e.g. a large asteroid/meteor strike
i believe we must all have this sustainability budget
as a common goal and concern
always giving all of us across all generations a equal context
for how we each lead our lives
