Adam--Thank you for the very valuable information and the link the CWMI 
factsheet.  I was the Cayuga Sustainability Council meeting that you 
attended last Thurs. p.m.  I was sitting on the other side of the person 
taking the notes.  I am interested in the master composter program.  Are 
there still openings?  I can stop by the Cooperative Extension office 
Thursday to pick up an application.  Thanks.   Tom

MY NOTE:  Sustainable development does not mean "sustainable growth" as 
growth per se is not sustainable.  And the term "sustainable" has to mean 
"for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).
