Eye on the Prize

With Copenhagen dominating the blogs, environmental articles and even the mainstream media with discussions of global warming, climate change, and other environmental issues, we can’t help but wonder if we may be losing touch, at least for this brief period, with our personal relationship with sustainability.

With so much focus and energy on the outcome of this external conversation, personal sustainability action may seem unimportant and small in comparison. While we too eagerly await global agreement, we understand that personal inspiration and action has always been and will continue to be a key driving force of change.

Personal sustainability action or the pursuit of a sustainable lifestyle goes beyond simply ‘greening’ your life. It is a mindset change that shifts the personal value drivers in daily activities.   Our professional consulting practice encourages individuals just getting started or those well on their way to continuously expand personal eco awareness to discover what sustainability means to them.

One of the first questions we ask prospective clients is: “What will drive personal sustainability in your life?”   As you might imagine, this answer varies but gives great insight into the unique associations individuals create with sustainability concepts.

Our personal sustainability consulting describes personal sustainability as a process that challenges an individual to constantly expand personal eco awareness. We encourage each and every person on the planet to make a personal case for sustainability. By linking personal development with sustainability, you create a personal incentives and daily feedback that further accelerates the process. We find personal sustainability:

•    Fulfills personal interests

•    Promotes personal growth

•    Reduces daily expenses and helps to save money

•    Promotes healthier living

•    Promotes and drives sustainable action in the external world

At Taiga Company, believe that incorporating sustainability concepts into daily living to be in direct alignment with personal development and the goals broader sustainable direction. Rather than focusing on the outcome, our personal consulting is works with individuals living and promoting its eventual defined path.
