Op-Ed: Local think tank forming to take on sustainability

By Spencer Critchley, from the Salinas Californian: By now it's clear that the future of the economy is a sustainable one, as global investment trends attest. As the cost of cleaner technologies falls ever lower, sustainability is becoming a question not of limits, but of opportunities.
