Thrivability:  Framing a Tussle

Thrivability, the concept, represents an opportunity to achieve our well understood goals
of sustainability and to exceed those goals in admittedly subjective areas such as
happiness and quality of life.

Sustainability is a concept that has drawn a lot of passion from the granola-eaters and
eco-freaks. This support can be limiting in terms oif broiad appeal.Thrivability can carry
us forward to a broader commitment to achieve those sustainability values, while opening
opportunities for improvements in our communities and -- for those who are into it -- our
selves.

Questions nclude: how do we elaborate the definition and propagate the meme? What are some
areas for action (example being local land use planning, local mesh services, what
else?).
