Networks and sustainability

Thanks Beth for posting this piece on "why working through networked approaches is a core strategy for sustainability". The example you give of the Boston Green and Healthy Building Network makes a strong case for what can be achieved by investing in and working through networks. I really liked your comment that "one organization cannot become sustainable alone; it requires that the larger “ecosystems” it works within to transform as well." As I think about the challenges facing nonprofit organizations, your example helps me recognize that it will take a transformation in the whole nonprofit eco-system to really make "social" work sustainable. We need to do much more from envisioning to creating standards to creating business models that pull the system in new directions. Do you find this valuable?
