Sustainability is common sense. It’s simple, logical and grounded. It isn’t complicated. It’s not rocket science. Some say that it is but trust us, it isn’t.
Sustainability has a strong element of simplicity and requires thoughtful consideration of the planet in the human activities of design, construction, operation, and consumption.
Our model of sustainability is nature itself because every natural system that has been studied demonstrates an inherent sustainability,which is effortless, elegant, cooperative and breathtaking.
We are far from done with learning from nature. Let’s give nature a chance to teach us before there is none left of it. The potted plants in your front garden are nice but doesn’t quite count as ‘nature’.
