How do we leverage technology to move us toward a more sustainable future, while mitigating the technology's own impact? This issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal (CBTJ) explores the dual sides of the technology sword — the potential for environmental benefit and harm — and, in true karmic spirit, how technology can help itself be more sustainable.

We need scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and citizens to bring their different perspectives to bear on the sustainability problem — to creatively apply the power of technology — without burning ourselves on the technological flame.
