6. Kill the myths...
Climate changes are just normal variations that we have always
had!
There s no use recycling since it all ends up in the same bin and
goes to a landfill!
Water is not a problem. Nature will adapt and take care of itself!
We need all the chemicals for hygiene reasons and the worst ones
are forbidden already!
Plastic as a material is the best solution, when burnt it just becomes
CO2 and water!
The governments, EU and new technology will solve this for us
so we can continue as we always have!
7. What can I do as an individual/ professional?
Use our energy more efficiently and change to renewable (solar, wind, bio,
water)
Use less plastic and more renewable materials (Plastic = Oil + chemicals)
Transport efficiently (suppliers, business trips, turn off engine while
waiting)
Use low-emission cars (renewable fuels)
Phase out of ozone-depleting chemicals (CFC and HCFC)
Buy and eat organic food and drinks
Use less and only bio-degradable (eco-labeled) chemicals
Minimize packaging and recycle waste
Learn, understand and respect the complexity of nature
9. An easy to understand
frame work...
Sustainability is a question of
management competence!
