Visions of a sustainable world
Creating a shared vision of a sustainable and desirable future is the most critical task facing humanity today. This vision must be of a world that we all want, a world that provides permanent prosperity within the Earth’s biophysical constraints in a fair. At the centre of the idea of sustainability is an ethical imperative to pass on a undiminished future to our children .
To bring our world toward sustainability — or any other goal — we need to take different kinds of steps, which require different kinds of knowledge, talent , skill, and work .
Future will be sustainable when citizens are concerned enough about the environment that they want to make a difference. It will happen when diverse groups from industry, environment, schools , service clubs , business, governments & the public come together and work towards a common vision of sustainability for our communities - balancing the needs of human and natural systems.
My vision is of a world free of war, hatred, and greed. It is a world in balance with nature , a place where poverty and starvation have been abolished and replaced with equality for all. It is a time where we have liberated ourselves from the grip of racism and discrimination and embrace individual and cultural diversity. I see a future in which we meet the basic needs of every man, woman , and child and extend to all the opportunity to realize their hopes and dreams for a better life. It is a vision where education and health are accessible to everyone and where all human beings share in clean water and air.
Sustainability is indeed a very complex issue which involves planet Earth as a whole. The best goal most of us who work toward sustainability offer is the avoidance of catastrophe. We promise survival and not much more. That is a failure of vision.
