About Threshold / Online, there is an incredible amount of information about the state of our planet, global well-being, and our ability to foster inclusive and vibrant economies that serve everyone. How do you sort through it all? The volume of material is overwhelming and sometimes contradictory.
​
In the process of teaching sustainability to hundreds of undergraduate students, select high school teachers, and many curious adults, I have refined my approach of highlighting the essential and meaningful parts of sustainability that offer the possibility for true, lasting change.
There's no room for fluff or platitudes - we just don't have time. Our window of opportunity is closing fast - especially in the case of climate change. We need to join together - joyfully, collaboratively, and with intent - to create a future we will be proud to hand to our grandchildren.

About Kimberly Byrd / I'm an independent academic who has been writing and teaching about environmental ethics and sustainability at a big ten school for a decade. I believe it's time to share and celebrate this hopeful knowledge beyond university walls.
Why you matter / We need a strong movement of discerning citizens that are clear-eyed about the challenges that face us, and are enthusiastic about the potential of our current moment.
Our current moment requires action: bold, positive action that embodies the possibility of true sustainability. Truly sustainable solutions multi-solve to address several problems at once. By looking at social-ecological systems as a whole, rather than just individual issues, we can address root problems and accelerate positive transitions.
​
My goal is to inspire compassion and connection for the planet, its people, and all beings through positive, creative projects of the highest standard.
