Sustainability: Virtuous or Vulgar?

In Module 2, you were asked to read an article called Sustainability: Virtuous or Vulgar? by Vucetich, J.A & Nelson, M.P.

In this blog we would like you to respond to some of the contentious issues raised in the text

1. What do the authors mean by ‘vulgar’ and ‘virtuous’ sustainability?
2. The authors suggest that ‘sustainability may well be the primary schema for describing and evaluating what it means to be a good person or good society in today’s world’ (p. 542). What do you think about this proposition? Are there ethical issues associated with it?
