DELVING MORE DEEPLY INTO SUSTAINABILITY
How do we add to the problems?
• Burn fossil fuels directly in cars and to heat our homes, schools
etc.
• Eat food that has been grown with chemicals and has used a lot
of energy in processing and packaging
• Buy food and other goods that have been brought from the other
side of the world
• Buy lots of things that use up materials, take energy to make
and transport.
•
Buy products where someone has been paid very little to make
them - products that have been produced in ‘sweat
shops’, using child labour or people working in unsafe
conditions
• Buy products that are immediately desirable, but which have contributed
to the loss of traditional technologies, communities or ways
of life.
