Inspirations
Inspiration: meeting and sharing with people on my travels, working within the

Concerns, lack of recognition
by the global power structure of women's work and abilities and the struggle
of finding a comfortable and respectful space for women to interact in a

Inspirations: My work fighting NAFTA and the growth of a transnationally

and broke my heart.
Concerns and encouragement
Concerns, Our emerging global
awareness that sustainable development is the only option to survival.
Changes needed
We need to understand the economic and
political connections of sustainable development. Deregulation, privatization,
free trade, and economic globalization are powerful forces working against
environmental stewardship and cannot be dismissed. It is on these grounds that
the battle for a healthy planet must be worked.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Areas of Interest and Concern: community and health; I have lobbied against
development that devastates the environment for profit and have fought for
proper housing, employment, education, health and welfare improvements. I am
working to improve the social and economic situation of Metis peoples,
governments, and institutions.
Changes needed
Changes Needed: I believe that appropriate
decision making for sustainability must encompass the quality of life of a
community. For example, in the case of the Metis, revitalization and
preservation of the Metis identity should be the main goal and focus in
strengthening the community. Land claims and self-government alone will not
build a sustainable community.

Inspirations
Inspirations: Survival!
Concerns and encouragement
Concerns which need to be adressed:
Non-involvement of health professionals. There is a crying need for help
and support in SD work.
Changes needed
Changes needed for sustainability: The
trade-off for development (in the sense of gaining money and power) is life and
health. We need to measure and constantly make visible what is potentially or
actually lost.
Miscellaneous comments
IICPH has a resource centre with over
four thousand holdings related to environmental health; it is available for
on-site use; please contact Mary Turner. Too often, understaffed and
underfunded NGOs are overwhelmed with request for information and
assistance; how to share information and advance sustainability in the face
of these obstacles is a major challenge. assists people in such places as the
Marshall Islands, Malaysia, Indian and Oklahoma to restore their communities
to health after contamination from military and industrial pollution.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
hearing
stories of women's grassroots environmental activism and reading books on
ecofeminism, spirituality; experiencing the power of personal stories and
actions grounded in the realities of our personal lives.
Concerns and encouragement
Concerns, the exclusion and
marginalization of women's voices from decision-making processes around issues
of sustainability; the dominant development model that continues to promote
destructive practices and to marginalize, devalue and ignore the work of
nurturing, sustaining and regenerating 'life'.
Changes needed
1) Channel resources and decision making power
to grassroots communities/groups who are already practicing sustainability.
2) Challenge the dominant economic model with its emphasis on growth and
consumption-and support the emergence of community based 'sustainable'
economies. 3) Challenge materialism over consumption and make choices that
improve the 'quality' of life. 4) Challenge top-down, elitist, male-dominated
decision making processes and build participatory, democratic, and inclusive
structures and processes. 5) Acknowledge our rootedness in, and dependence on
the Earth. Cultivate relations that nuture our connections to ourselves, our
communities
