InterCONNECTED



All things on earth are interconnected just as all things in nature are. We are all part of the same system which is composed of nature, humans and the things we create and dispose of. As part of this system, what we do as humans directly effects the environment. If you do not agree then look at the graphs from this article - clearly the two are linked.

Therefore, there is no one solution to sustainability. Rather than looking at individual problems, it would be much more effective if we took a step back for a broader perspective. We need to take a whole systems approach to analyzing the issues and strategizing solutions for a safer and sustainable future.
