future

Further to my post about Helen Clark's speech and our PM's challenge to her citizens to make New Zealand the World's first truly sustainable nation, the government have launched Sustainable a well designed and useful website with tips and advice on reducing our carbon footprints and living more sustainably.

Have you ever thought about what the world may be like 100 years from now? Ever wondered if there's any point in making those sacrifices to our personal consumption just to 'save the planet'? Ever taken a moment to think about what your children's children's children or other future relatives will have to say about the things we did or didn't do to support each other and help keep our planet healthy? Will the future provide a safe inspiring environment? We all hope for the best but what is best?
