Highlights from the book:
- Why sustainability needs to be regenerative, not static
- How rdAI enables real-time feedback and system-wide insight
- Planning frameworks for renewable energy, climate, and ESG alignment
- Insights for nonprofits, businesses, and community-led initiatives

🧠 Planning Themes You’ll Find Here
This site and the Perpetual Sustainability(tm) Book have several recuring themes. When something is not sustainable — well, it is not sustainable. By definition, it will definitely come to an end. And the ending will likely be very ugly and highly ungraceful. Once you identify non-sustainable practices, the sustainable practices become obvious. Sustainable solutions will become profitable alternatives sooner or later. We have an ethical and a moral duty to move toward all things sustainable. And, we really wat to move beyond “sustainable” (causing no more harm) to rejuvenative and regenerative practices. Here are some of our recuring themes:
- Regenerative vs. sustainable models
- AI-supported environmental planning
- Systems thinking for social impact
- Climate innovation & RE/EE tools
- Reflections on health, housing, food, and community economics

Practical Sustainability Solutions
Small, smart steps create lasting impact. Improving energy efficiency in buildings—such as insulation, sealing leaks, upgrading lighting, and installing smart thermostats—often cuts energy use by 15–30%. These savings are sometimes called “negawatts,” because the most sustainable energy is the energy never used. Energy efficiency pays for itself quickly, reduces costs year after year, and permanently lowers carbon emissions.
Renewable energy adds another layer of sustainability. Solar panels, wind generation, and other clean technologies provide the triple win of lower energy bills, reduced carbon footprint, and improved energy independence. Incentives and tax credits make adoption more affordable, while organizations benefit from reputational gains and alignment with stakeholder expectations.
Telework and remote work also deliver a triple win: employees save commuting time and costs, organizations reduce overhead expenses, and communities see reduced traffic and emissions. Hybrid and remote models are now recognized as one of the most effective, low-cost ways to cut greenhouse gases while improving work-life balance.
Together, these strategies show how efficiency, renewables, and telework can transform sustainability from a lofty goal into measurable, everyday impact.
