Our sustainable future idea was different to any which i had looked at in the past, due to the fact that we were not looking at environmental sustainability, but rather social sustainability. Our group was concerned with how people connect and building communities. We looked at quality of life and personal growth, as well as educational opportunities that would come with shared consciousness. We acknowledged the importance of education specifically, as for knowledge to be shared in this network, it would have to be known. Specifically, we were interested in social cohesion and disconnectedness, as well as diversity.

Finally, the preservation of human and knowledge capital was acknowledged as an economically sustainable need.
