Removing the Sticking Points of Personal Sustainability

Over the last few years there has been a dramatic increase in eco awareness, particularly the growth in knowledge of the general public. This rapidly increasing shift away from the traditional views of “green living” has resulted in a better understanding of sustainable value creation. However, challenges still remain in translating understanding into personal action.

While sustainability concepts are becoming clearer, traditional definitions and misconception of sustainability continue to inhibit action. Our sustainability consulting recognizes the drivers that inspire individual action can be very different: what motivates one may not drive another.

Our personal consulting works with individuals and businesses stuck at the crossroads of thought, intention and action. We encourage our clients to examine each sustainability decision from five distinct areas of value by asking:

•    Will this choice increase personal satisfaction through aligned personal values?
•    Will the path lead to personal growth?
•    Will this decision decrease my personal expenses?
•    Will this direction decreased time spent on unfulfilling activities?
•    Will this choice improved health and general well-being?

For many the thought of sustainability or even a sustainable lifestyle can be an overwhelming subject to anyone when viewed in its entirety.   By pursuing changes that are inspiring and manageable relative your current life, the process of incorporating sustainability becomes much easier.

An effective long-term personal sustainability plan involves more than implementing mainstream sustainability concepts into daily living. Personal sustainability is a continuous improvement process that challenges an individual to constantly expand personal eco awareness. Putting a plan into action creates alignment and further expresses one’s commitment to personal value creation and development. Need help?
