We are living on one planet, with no where else to go, so how do we maintain our little blue space ship that is at risk?
Sustainability is protecting the future. To accomplish this we/I will need a transformation of thinking and way of living by examining the sustainability of our current economy, our unsustainable relationship to the environment and the sustainability of our society. I have drawn on wide range of sources as my inspiration for this paper. How will I protect our future?
By paying more, having less and living better.
Paying more, having less and living better
A personal transformation by: Rethinking our economy and the impacts of our unsustainable ecological footprint; Questioning our need for stuff and conscious choices we make at the market; Creating the community we want to live in. As Paul Hawkins states in Blessed Unrest: “the movement (environmental) only happens one person at a time” (2007, p. 23). Through participating in “One millions acts of green” (http://www.onemillionactsofgreen.com) I have committed through my action to reduce my greenhouse gases by 13,318 KG/per year. By making the commitment to transform myself, I am on the path to protect the future by living more sustainably, and setting a public example.
