Sustainability and Intergenerational Solidarity

Great document written by one of the best undergrad professors I had, Dr. Andrew Yarrow.

From ‘Generations’ the Journal of the American Society on Aging.

Abstract:

The author takes the opportunity provided by the Great Recession to make a case for the importance of sustainability and intergenerational solidarity. He examines how we can leave a world to our children and grandchildren that is at least as good as what we now have and concludes that sustainability is about “living the wisdom of Ecclesiastics: ‘a generation goes and comes, but the earth remains forever.’”

QR Code

A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes. Moreover, most current Japanese mobile phones can read this code with their camera.

They’re gaining in popularity and I used a QR Code generator from KAYWA to create the 3 preceding posts. Good times on a Sunday night!
