I have been banging away at showing people how to create energy efficient and sustainable lifestyles for the last 35 years. This has only become easier during the first decade of the 21st century as the spectre of climate change has reared its ugly head. Whether you believe it or not is a matter of your point of view and your access to the facts at hand.
What I have recognised since returning to Sydney from the country in 1972 and seeing the air pollution from automobiles and industry, is that there has to be a better solution to what is still a major problem in all cities across the planet.
To that end this magazine is attempting to bring all the aspects of sustainability together through the stories and articles presented in a positive, uplifting and solution focused way.
As with any new publication that enters the market place, one has to find readers from that existing market. The magazine has to become sustainable within its own right and exist in a market that is in the trend of being web-based.
I believe that there are people like me who are looking for information to enable them to become an integral part the future sustainable economy. I see sustainability opening more doors then it will close.
I appreciate the fear that people have for change and of the unknown. This magazine will provide information to help people make those decisions to overcome their fears
I believe we look forward to a fantastic future. It all comes down to what individuals and society believe is possible and our ability to overcome the limitations that restrict our potential for dramatic change.
We all have expectations about the outcomes we desire as individuals and in different societies. What we need to do is find the areas that we all have in alignment so that we can leverage off that alignment.
We have to look for the positive and the opportunities that will make our collective futures possible. It has always been clear to me that entrepreneurs will play a major part in our future for they are the ones with a vision that includes wealth creation.
There are issues about our ability to maintain continuous growth with the finite resources that our planet provides without considerable development of technologies not even known to us yet.
Humans have become disconnected from the natural cycles of our planet. We are just another animal that shares this planet with many others but we have been given a brain which we have to use for the benefit of all species - we owe it to our children and their children’s children and for the many generations of humans to come.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.
Will you make the right choice?
