The necessity for communities to rapidly embrace and apply sustainable practises is well documented.  The interconnectedness of realms that were once able to be considered in isolation has led to a growing realisation that the notion of sustainability needs to be a more holistic one and, as such, cultural, political, social, environmental and economic realms have become equally important to the notion of a sustainable future.  It is also apparent, on macro levels (global) and at the micro levels (schools) that such broad changes in people’s mindset cannot be imposed or effected overnight and so schools remain central to the long-term goal of sustainability because of their long-term access to developing minds.

Extract from the GREEN OPTIONS interview 11 May 2007 by Victoria E

 

VE: What do you say to the folks that still believe global warming is just a myth?

BD-T: I can answer this quite simply. When we first started attending conferences on sustainability and global warming, all the speakers were only talking about the effects of global warming and global dimming. In the last two major international sustainability conferences we have attended, in Hanoi January 2006 and Chennai January 2007, with speakers from Universities around the world, the professors are no longer talking about the effects of global warming, but what we can do to live with global warming. Global warming is no longer a myth but a reality. There is no quick fix to the problem, but a lot of small steps in the right direction will add up to one big step. Envirosax hopefully is one of these small steps.
