i just read two articles about sustainability. the first one spoke of living a "sustainable" lifestyle in which one incorporates environmentally friendly clothing or buying sustainable design elements for one's home is equivalent to drinking a diet coke while eating an entire chocolate cake. this article stated how one must live it, but there wasn't any advice on how to achieve this - only a sense of how one must go all the way: either all or nothing. neither do i believe this nor understand it fully. i suppose this person was stating the fact that we cannot expect a global transformation until we are all acting as a unit or choosing the same things on a grand scale.
the next article was by a sustainability proffesional giving us his code for other people who consider themselves to be sustainable proffessionals. i liked this code. it combined morals, common sense and a code of ethics for a fast growing group of proffessionals who choose site their proffesions as beacons for change. this can be found on worldchanging.com.,"a code of ethics for sustainability proffessionals".
