Lexicon of Sustainability Despite how much time I
spend posting and commenting on our blog, I rarely explore the
internet. I check the weather, read RSS feeds of over 100 blogs,
ask questions of google, visit extension service websites to see what
the accepted wisdom is on agricultural issues, and use google image
search to identify this and that. But I don't surf. I don't
watch videos, I don't spend time on facebook, I don't follow people's
links. For
the past three years Douglas Gayeton and Laura Howard-Gayeton
have crisscrossed the USA to learn this new language of
sustainability from its foremost practitioners in food and
farming. Alice Waters on edible
schoolyards. Wes Jackson on reinventing wheat
farming. Joel Salatin on embracing the value of
saner farming practices. Vandana Shiva on the
global imperative of protecting seeds. Paul Stamets
on how mushrooms can save the world. Will Allen
on Food Security. Temple Grandin on the humane
slaughter of animals. Farmer John on the
revolutionary idea of community-supported agriculture.

We have a winner: Lexicon of Sustainability
The affort to navigate it is unsustainable.
It is a shame the way the Lexicon site is designed. There is so much information there but it is overwhelming the way you have to navigate through it. The photography is great but not when you are trying to read the captions. Someone needs to tell these people. For all their efforts they are not helping their audience. Their web designer has poor communication skills!
Roland and Rosann --- I know what you mean. Anytime you have to give someone instructions on how to dig information out of a website, that website has failed.
I sound a bit like an old fogey, though, complaining about flashy websites. I know there are people who would complain about our site because of all the photos and ads.
