Living Sustainably

Today I decided to act. It is time for me to DO something!

I have done my best to be aware of the consequences of my life(style) choices for several years but I know now that this is not enough and I want to do more.

It is clear to me that we human beings need to develop a healthier relationship with each other and with the Earth if we are to survive. There is plenty of scope for feelings of powerlessness, despair and cynicism but I would like to think, feel and act in a positive way. I know that any change must start with the individual so I'm starting with myself! I want to become one of the people who is part of the "solution".

I believe that the way of the future will be really different to how it is now. Consumption of raw materials and generation of waste is going to be something that we reduce by being more aware of our deeds. Eventually we will be able to see beyond 'money' and see the real effect of our actions in the world.

It is an exciting time. We face a challenge and we have the opportunity to become more than we are.
