Sustainability is ultimately about sustaining all life. The current trend of making buildings, cars, light bulbs, products and processes more efficient is simply the beginning point for achieving this goal. In order to truly achieve sustainability for ourselves and the other species on this planet, we will need to redevelop a conscious connection with and understanding of the whole system of life-enhancing processes that shape the habitats within which we live. We must reintegrate our building--and our communities--with life on Earth.
The process of creating our shelter, producing our food, provisioning our water, and harnessing our energy has tremendous impact on planetary health. The corollary is also true; the act of connecting and building can become an act of healing and regenerating the community of life. Building Deeper Green: Reframing Sustainability is broadcast live every Friday at 9 AM Pacific Time on The Green Talk Network.
