“Be the change you want to see in the world” – GhandiThere are many things each of us can do in our daily life. Small things can save the
planet. Ask yourself each day:What can I do? Can I effect change? Can I make my voice heard? - seem so often to be answered with a resigned “Nothing” or “No”. What possible difference could my living habits make to a green planet , society and for myself.

Sustainability, societ yand meFor sustainability initiatives to be successful, they need to be adopted by the people
they are aimed at. This requires an understanding of individuals and groups so that resource is not wasted on new technologies and policies that fail in their implementation phases.
