This image was created by Vilde Rolfsen and the image is actually a photograph taken of a plastic bag. I really like this image because at a glance it looks as if this is a photograph taken in some cave in the arctic. It looks as if the photograph was taken in an arctic environment during either dusk or dawn. I really enjoy the colors and the texture of this photograph. I think the techniques performed in creating this constructed landscape make for a really interesting image.

The SDGs seek ‘the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources’ by 2030. This will involve governments reducing subsidies for fossil fuels and targets to “substantiallyreduce” waste and, in particular, halve food waste. The big elephant in the room that the SDGs seem to dodge is growth. Overall demand is rising and it will continue to rise, particularly if we are to meet SDG number 1, and lift millions out of poverty. You can make the processes more sustainable, but if total demand rises faster, the outcome may be less sustainable overall. The reason for this is that market research shows consumers who shop sustainably always make up a minority. Studies vary by market, but it’s generally between 5 and 20 percent who will actively purchase products that are clearly branded as ethical or sustainable Most consumer goods companies have woken up to this imperative. They don’t want to sell products to a niche. They want to produce products responsibly and sell them to the mainstream. That sometimes means not talking about sustainability to consumers. Although it’s hard for people who feel passionately about these issues to believe, logos saying “organic” or “co-op made” are actually a turn off to some shoppers.
