  • A number of the ideas in this video are quite good particularly in terms of choosing simple and salient ideas which can be easily identified, understood and acted upon. However, the examples given appear quite strange to me. PSPs appear good in practice but eating an organic meal once a week or parking further away sounds a lot like rearranging chairs on the Titanic. If all companies were to become sustainable and charge premium prices as advocated, I'm not sure this would be economically sus

  • Thank for the help.

  • hey that's adam!

  • hippy scum

  • Very well presented. A great help.

  • @desigrrl08 Not true, and I'm not talking about me. But as he says, you have to have economic sustainability. (1:00 and 6:00)

    Problem is that the macrostructures in the world, many times do not allow for sustainability. However, solutions have to be mainstream (culturally and otherwise) and cost-efficient enough to actually have an impact.

  • goood

  • WalMart, Seriously? Call me when they realize how unsustainable their consumption of single use bags for single items for single uses is.

  • I was a pioneer of sustainablity long before Bruntland report on sustainablity in 1987. I defined sustain 3D-Economic.environmental and social. I have attended world summit on sustainablity in southafrica in 2002. I suggest culture is subdivision of social issue.

  • i agree culture needs to be a subset@vjpillay

  • The environment does not have any borders. Therefore, immigration is an irrelevant issue here. Overpopulation is an issue on the global level and is being addressed by all environmental organizations in developing countries (educating women, promoting family planning options).

  • @rocketsredglare101 You see thoase children will be future taxpayers...therefore it is for the good of britain

  • You almost made sense until you mentioned Wal-Mart they figured out how to exploit poor people in 3 world countries and have the poor in North America buy these products so now they have the poor in the world destroying each other and the planet. Who need cheap stuff the wreaks havoc on humanity and the planet.

  • 1:03 "meeting the needs of the current generation" that's a nice joke. those "needs" are essentially being instructed by the media and those off course who finanse the media industry.

  • "Act now and Apologize Later" is restructuring of "The Ends justifies the Means."

    Marxism (like all Leftist utopian delusions) will always fail because they're abandoned reason. Hegel was anti-reason and anti-realist. The basis of all science is reason, evidence, and logic. Scientific socialism was invoked for power, not for truth. The basis of Marxism is faith, not reason.

    This douche bag is another utopian Marxist. Fuck him!

  • Great interview! All business will be eventually sustainable. Its just a matter of time!

  • FAKE

  • very cool

  • @Win4CharityVictim A plan 2 define sustainability, individually n collectively:

  • We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

  • nice clip, thanks.

  • todnyc: Environmental systainability has to be within what the economic bottom line allows.

    So you can't do expensive hippie stuff in order to save the planet, you have to do it in an economically sound way.

  • Would never hire this firm. The CEO really has no clue about business. Not one word about inventing.

    He has a Marxist background bigtime.

  • "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist." -Hélder Câmara

  • @Memubitsu right, money today for you comes before a livable planet tomorrow for your children.

  • 1:14 - To have sustainability, you need to have economic sustainability. Ok, got it.

  • you failed summarizing in 3rd grade huh :/

  • I was pointing out that the 4th rule for achieving sustainability is...sustainability?

  • ad hominem don't work in the grown up world. Try again
