“environmental destruction”
[/quote]
PCB’s in rivers, no salmon in the Connecticut River, coliform bacteria in most small waterways in my town, heavy metals from automobile pollution in the soil, fertilizers and erosion creating dead zones in the sound, the dissappearance of the American Chestnut, and the passanger pigeon, forest being choked by Asiastic Bittersweet, etc.

you’re abandoning any and all logical commitment to the notion of “unsustainable” as strictly “cannot continue forever”. In other words, there’s more to whatever you’re calling “unsustainable” besides its inability to continue forever.

Yeah, because of your brilliant quasi-Keynesian (“In the long run, we are all dead.”) retort that entropy will catch all of us in the end (which is pretty stupid, considering the big bang happened somehow), I am forced to include the caveat that sustainable would have to mean,
“able to continue indefinitely, barring external influences beyond our control.”
