Individual Sustainability?

Sustainability is a word many of us have come to associate with ecology and the environment.  But what do you make of the term "sustainable personality" ?

A Virginia researcher believes that if more of us created such a personality for ourselves, the world would be a far better place.  And he thinks we would likely be much happier too.

Guest:   

Eric Pappas, Ed.D.  - Co-developer of the online assessment tool to measure personality styles that is called Personality Pad.   Author of  "Radical Premises In Sustainability Reform" (Journal of Sustainability Education).  Associate Professor of Integrated Science and Technology at James Madison University.
