Creative interactive education for sustainable living. Rest to follow on next post. 1. Do stuff: don't waste it, turn it off, turn it down, do it less, do it local, do it yourself, swap, repair, share and recycle: don't throw things away, there is no such place as away. 2. Be hopeful and...remember that hope it's not about just crossing your fingers. Without it we could get cynical and frozen in despair. Hope is the fuel, but it only works if you do something. 3. Learn about your life. Is having 'stuff' bad? Not always: trade is not the same as consumption and can support livelihoods and environments. Explore your natural world including the invisible. Understand what sustains you and what you need to care about. 4. Give gifts and give thanks. Understand why we need each other. This is a time to support each other and to work together to build communities. 5. Be angry at the things you can't change...but think about who can change them. Speak out for positive change. Demand that governments, companies and big organisations change with us and give us real choices. 6. Imagine different things. The 21st century will be a time of transformation. Meet different people, explore different things, read different books, try out new ideas. 7. Increase your reach. There's only so much you can do on your own. Share what you know. Work with or through other organisations. Remember that your wallet is your weapon. Make buying choices that help good things happen-worldwide. 8. Get out more. People can't care about things they don't understand and have some sense of connection to. So get out and down in that dirt lest we forget how it keeps us alive. Play together, learn, explore, have adventures and nurture your environments. 9. Forgive yourself (and others) sustainable development will be a territory for endless exploration. Learn from mistakes. We make mistakes because we act, strive and aim high - and that is what makes us human.
