Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Inspiration: a 1970's poster of Golda Meyer that said: 'But Can She Type'; a
1970's book - "The Lace Ghetto"
Concerns and encouragement
I am concerned about the invisibility
of women in technical jobs (i.e. they cannot affect decisions in areas of
science, technology, agriculture, engineering..etc.), and lack and invisibility
of women in decision making at all levels.
Changes needed
We need an attitude change - education at early
levels that examine the basis for sexism; training at all levels; media images
that promote a different ideology; more representative government - civic
education at a young age, a less consumer oriented society - simple lives; a
more global consciousness - education of interdependence.

processes) and thus are unable to share their knowledge in many situations.
Changes needed

indigenous skill and knowledge; re-establish the value of locally established

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Areas of Interest and Concern: The social well being element of sustainability.
Only until there is a shift of the concept of sustainability towards human
well being, will the concept be grasped by the public at large.
It is my personal belief that individuals have a responsibility to play a
greater part in developing solutions to problems that the world is facing.
There is a great deal of change that we can achieve that is within our
individual control. Being involved and committed to this change gives a person
a sense of individual empowerment. An example that comes to mind is one set
by a young man in Kelowna, who started the Environmental Youth Alliance. He
was instrumental in changing the food wrapping policy in a fast food chain by
asking to have his food to be served on his own plates that he brought into the
restaurant instead of disposable plates. Upon refusal of his demand, he
encouraged others to do the same, and this eventually brought about change
in this policy.
Concerns and encouragement
I am concerned with the lack of
commitment (personal and political) to the environment and sustainability.
Today's discussions on sustainability should include ways of generating more
public participation and how we are going to do this. I am also concerned
with the lack of resources for obtaining sustainability. I am
encouraged by the National Round Table's social marketing strategy. It is a
long term strategy which focuses on public participation which will
eventually lead to a shift in social values. In order to achieve
sustainability, we must shift society's thinking towards one that is aware of
the interconnection of people and the environment. The National Round Table
has aimed at this by evoking awareness, and implementing understanding which
will eventually lead to change in behaviour.
Changes needed
Public awareness education should be focused on
sustainable development, on how it relates to "me". There also needs
to be greater public awareness that political will is derived from public will.
Miscellaneous comments
Sustainable development needs a broader
audience. Right now the concept of sustainable development is trapped in the
hands of the policy maker and needs to be placed in the hands of the people.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Concerns, The basic misinformation the general public is getting out of
the media and how it is not permitting conscious decision-making for
community development.
Concerns and encouragement
Too often old models are still being
used (education, meetings conferences..) which keeps things the same but
only with new words. Every level of society needs to be focusing on empowering
the individual so we can all gain the "feeling" of belonging and
being a real participant to our communities. Hierarchy...exists very much
in women's circles.
Changes needed
The New World Order needs to be redefined!!!
Trade needs to be focused locally to better be part of a circle of
producers-consumers which is the basis of society.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Inspirations: living in communities under adverse conditions and witnessing a
sense of positive perseverence; the land and forests where I lived in my
'growing up' years and returned to live with again.
Concerns and encouragement
I am concerned by: the institutionalized
issue of power through trade and education and resource extraction and
finance; the acceptance of current social structures as a 'norm'.
Changes needed
List of changes needed to promote sustainable
development: 1) development approach which has a focus on growth, 2)
forest 'management' and resource 'extractions', 3) control of local government
by business, 4) use of power-over in decision making, 5) lack of
individual's sense of region and community.
