The Story of Change

The Story of Change

Story of Change Over the past several decades, many environmental and social change efforts have come to reflect the centrality of shopping in our culture, suggesting change can be made—or is even best made—through alterations in our individual consumption patterns. These efforts—buy Fair Trade or organic, use a reusable bag, screw in a CFL lightbulb—are a great place to start, but they are a terrible place to stop, ignoring the real source of our power: coming together as engaged citizens. In The Story of Change, released in July 2012, Annie Leonard argues that it’s not bad shoppers who are putting our future at risk; it’s bad policies and business practices. If we really want to change the world, we have to move beyond voting with our dollars and come together to demand rules that work. Credits The Story of Change was created and released by The Story of Stuff Project and produced by Free Range Studios. Show full list of credits

The Story of Stuff Project Suffizienz (Ökologie) „Einer naturverträglichen Gesellschaft kann man in der Tat nur auf zwei Beinen näherkommen: durch eine intelligente Rationalisierung der Mittel wie durch eine kluge Beschränkung der Ziele. Mit anderen Worten: die „Effizienzrevolution“ bleibt richtungsblind, wenn sie nicht von einer „Suffizienzrevolution“ begleitet wird.“ „Die Suffizienz ist politisch ungleich heikler als die Effizienzfrage.

How To Initiate Conversation The hardest part of socializing, for many people, is initiating conversation. However, it is a big mistake to go about life not making the first move and waiting for someone else to do it [in conversation or anything]. This isn’t to say you must always be the first in everything or spark up conversations with everyone you see. The Benefits First thing is you should acknowledge why it is a good thing to be able to initiate conversations with strangers or people who you don’t know well. 1. You can only learn so much alone, and I’m sure you’re aware of the benefits of learning from others. Good Vs Bad All people are good in their own way. This means distinguishing between people who might suit you and your ‘purpose’ from those who probably won’t. It helps to motivate the conversation if you really want to know this person. The Rules I don’t have many rules in this life, for conversation or anything; but when it comes to approaching strangers, there are a few I’d like used. 1. Who To Talk To? 1.

Ökoeffizienz Ökoeffizienz ist der Quotient aus dem wirtschaftlichen Wert eines Produktes und den durch den Herstellungsvorgang auf die Umwelt ausgeübten Auswirkungen, gemessen in einer geeigneten Einheit. Der Begriff wurde 1991 vom Wirtschaftsrat für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Business Council for Sustainable Development, heute World Business Council for Sustainable Development – WBCSD) in die Wirtschaftswelt eingeführt. Die Motivation dafür war, dass negative ökologische Wirkungen und die Ressourcenintensität über den gesamten Lebenszyklus (des Produktes) auf ein Niveau gebracht werden sollen, das mit den Tragfähigkeitsgrenzen der Erde vereinbar ist. Der Wirtschaftsrat für nachhaltige Entwicklung definiert Ökoeffizienz über die Formel: Ökoeffizienz = (Wirtschaftlicher Wert eines Produktes) / (Einfluss bzw. Dieses Konzept fordert die Maximierung des Wertes (utility) pro Einheit „Umweltbelastung“. Literatur[Bearbeiten] M. Weblinks[Bearbeiten] Einzelnachweise[Bearbeiten]

Cradle-to-cradle design Cradle to Cradle design (also referred to as Cradle to Cradle, C2C, cradle 2 cradle, or regenerative design) is a biomimetic approach to the design of products and systems. It models human industry on nature's processes viewing materials as nutrients circulating in healthy, safe metabolisms. It suggests that industry must protect and enrich ecosystems and nature's biological metabolism while also maintaining a safe, productive technical metabolism for the high-quality use and circulation of organic and technical nutrients.[1] Put simply, it is a holistic economic, industrial and social framework that seeks to create systems that are not only efficient but also essentially waste free.[2] The model in its broadest sense is not limited to industrial design and manufacturing; it can be applied to many aspects of human civilization such as urban environments, buildings, economics and social systems.

SAMUI'S GREEN REVOLUTION It all started three years ago when a group of Samui residents, both Thai and foreign, were stressing over the damage being done to the island's natural environment. "Why don't they do something about the over-development ... deforestation ... lack of infrastructure," had become the refrain of concerned residents who watched from the sidelines for years as rapid development took its toll on the island's once pristine natural environment. But out of this chorus arose the question, "Who are They?" The group realised that, "'They' are not going to do anything: We live here! We have to do something!" And so the seed for the Samui Mala Festival was planted - an event that celebrates environmental healing on Koh Samui.
