Globe 2006 ... sustaina-what

Yesterday morning I attended a short presentation at the Globe 2006 conference in Vancouver. The conference is focused on business and the environment, but I attended a session that was giving the results of a nationwide survey on Canadians ideas, beliefs and knowledge about sustainability.

The results were not shocking, but illustrated one very important point. Most people don't know what the *%$! sustainability is! Canadians are very well aware of the issues facing both the nation and the world, but are also in favour of government sanctions imposing certain environmental measures. Nonetheless, the results proved that people want more to be done and for the most part need more direction on how to take action.

For a quick definition of sustainability that encompasses all the major aspects look no further. sustainability
