Interconnectedness

That is one of the most important lessons we should learn from yesterday's blackout. What happens in upstate New York has consequences for Ohio, Canada and many other places. The world we live in is a much tighter and more complex web than we can ever imagine. Our interconnectedness underscores the importance for all of us to lead sustainable life styles that recognize how we touch each other's lives and worlds. Sustainability starts with greater consciousness, which could benefit all of us.
