Sustainability thinking - Where should it start ?
Posted by earthian in earthian
What are the biggest challenges we face in society? Who is responsible for
them? Do we read about them in the headlines every day? Do they concern you - in
the midst of your daily routine? Do you think something can be done? Or is it
for someone else to bother about? We are part of the same society - individuals
and corporations...so how much of our daily 'efforts' is spent on these things?
