Exactly the WRONG messaging that places the onus on individuals, NOT the system. What will people take away from this title? #deflection #systemicchange Three Americans create enough carbon emissions to kill one person, study finds theguardian.com/environment/20…

We often hear sustainability advocates and businesses that market themselves as sustainable say that we should be voting with our wallets. But should we be? Read the full article here: link.medium.com/9zhenfyROhb #sustainability #consumerism

Humans are the only species knowingly destroying the planet. So are we really the smartest species on the planet? Have we really conquered nature? How do we define smartness and intelligence? link.medium.com/cDSPRtGgEhb #intelligence #nature #humility

What happens when we mislabel non-Western #ancientwisdom as #NewAge? What do we lose from having an insular, myopic perspective? We waste resources inventing the wheel. Wasted Opportunities: Mislabeling Ancient Wisdom as New Age link.medium.com/1QcvLLlguhb

Why #Poverty is Bad for the #Environment and why it's in our own self-interest--even for those of us who are affluent--to pay attention link.medium.com/cZmsXBlw5gb

To be good ancestors to future #generations, we must also be good descendants. We must respect and make use of our collective wisdom from generations past. #goodancestor #sustainability

Another brilliant idea to #technofix the environment, which we destroyed using technology. And if this effort fails, don't worry, we'll come up with yet another technofix! When will we learn that destroying nature ALWAYS has consequences?

Given the volatility of the world today, there are lessons we can learn from Japanese long-termism. Case in point: Japan is home to 40% of the world's oldest companies - and the oldest was founded in Japan in 578 AD. link.medium.com/UMQeK3IImgb

Let’s not let Big Oil get to us with their clever rhetoric about individual responsibility and carbon footprint, and paralyze us into inaction. The onus—as is true in all other industries—should be on suppliers (i.e. businesses), NOT consumers.

There are key cultural reasons why #Japan is more open to adopting #cobots and new #tech compared to the West. Learn more in my featured post: “Whether You Fear or Embrace New Tech Depends on Where You’re From” by @drmireitc link.medium.com/f4gYEaHVcgb

We will never fully understand #sustainability because the world never stands still. We must be lifelong learners on this topic and be more compassionate when evaluating others’ actions. Share #knowledge with each other instead of #shaming each other. link.medium.com/L8g3gsn8agb

#Disposable chopsticks can be #sustainable, too. If we want to support truly sustainable initiatives, we need to #rethink how we make assessments. Read my latest piece: Sustainable Disposable Chopsticks: Rethinking Our Beliefs link.medium.com/Rm0eANRB9fb

Does #sustainability have the same meaning in other cultures? Take a listen to learn about more #holistic perspectives and the concept of behavioral sustainability.

The oldest #business in the world still around today was founded in 578 AD (more than 1400 yrs ago!) in #Japan. And the 5 oldest businesses are all Japanese. What's the secret to their #longevity? Read my new article here: link.medium.com/UjadyOZPqfb

Most things in life, including #science and #religion are not dichotomies - they fall on spectrums and can coexist without contradiction. Let’s stop having these either-or debates about #false dichotomies and focus on building a better future together.

Thanks to #greenwashing and other virtue signaling tactics, the term #sustainability doesn’t mean much anymore. If anything, it’s become divisive and politically charged. Is there another term we can use that can mean building towards a better future?

We need more conservatives like @BenjiBacker to step up and help move the US in the right direction. And we need liberals to embrace them with open arms. We only have one #planet 🌏
