Sustainability Math is going away. A few of the data sets and related projects that were here (or may still be for awhile) will be available on my GitHub site. For Data: https://thomas-pfaff.github.io/TeachingRealData.html
Some of them are also embedded in my calculus textbook https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-28571-4
