In 2024, I am abandoning terms around sustainable, zero waste, imperfect environmentalism, or anything to describe myself when it comes to talking about my lifestyle after internal discussions around how many people outside of spaces do not feel good enough in their lifestyles even to categorize it as a particular word. Is sustainability an illusion? What encapsulates a sustainable lifestyle? And why should our lifestyles be labeled imperfect when they always have and focus on the collective embodiments of actions over naming ourselves in the space? I am not a sustainability expert, nor will I ever claim myself as one, but I also acknowledge myself in this space being labeled as one and how much I have of a platform to talk about these types of messy contradictions I face in my work. The death of the zero waste lifestyle movement brought forward the controversy around perfectionism. From 2020-2022, we saw a decrease in the term being used and a shift into sustainable lifestyles. Then we saw the increase of imperfect environmentalism being thrown out as a counter to the harm and collective damage zero waste lifestyles did to people. The embracement of imperfect environmentalism brought forward an inclusive but realistic approach, but was it enough to create a systemic cultural shift in general society? No. Because we are here as a digital space embracing these types of terminologies, I have found the contradictions that even though I show up as incomplete as I am as a human, there are still unrealistic things that are not obtainable nor desirable for the working-class poor people. I believe now in my work that the more I embrace actions and don't put a label on them without saying sustainable, ethical, imperfect environmentalism, or even zero waste, the more the general person can say whatever action I influenced them was based on an embodiment that focusing on the word and symbolism it holds in movements. In 2024, my environmentalism work will focus on legacy, shifting perspectives, and paving new foundations of conversations and evolution rather than staying stagnant. I want others to join movements without having a label attached. #sustainabilitymatters #sustainability #climate #media #genz #genzmarketing

Diving into the profound realm of sustainability, where our choices today shape the legacy we leave for generations to come. 🌱 Sustainability isn't merely a catchphrase; It's a compass guiding us toward a future where the delicate dance between human progress and environmental well-being is harmonious. In essence, sustainability is a holistic approach that embraces economic, social, and environmental dimensions. It's about recognizing that our resources are finite and interconnected, urging us to tread lightly on the Earth. From reducing our carbon footprint to embracing renewable energy, every action counts. Why is It so crucial? Because it's the bedrock of resilience. A sustainable lifestyle fosters ecosystems that can withstand challenges, be it climate change, resource depletion, or social inequities. It's about future-proofing our planet and ensuring that the beauty of biodiversity, clean air, and pure water endures. In the grand tapestry of sustainability, every thread matters. When we choose ethical products, support eco-friendly initiatives, and champion social justice, we contribute to a narrative of positive change. It's a ripple effect where individual actions collectively create waves of transformation. So, let's redefine progress. Let's measure success not just in economic terms but in the vitality of our ecosystems, the well-being of our communities, and the fairness of our societies. Sustainability isn't a burden; it's an opportunity to craft a world where prosperity is synonymous with responsibility. In our hands lies the power to rewrite the story of our relationship with the planet. Let's choose a narrative of sustainability, where the chapters are filled with compassion, innovation, and a deep respect for the intricate web of life. 🌏💙 #SustainableLiving #FutureForward #ChangeMakers"

🌍 Sustainability in business Earth, the planet we call home is in trouble. Businesses need to take action for more sustainable future. It's important to come together and find new ways of working. Create value chains where all stakeholders benefit sustainable processes. This is a common task where everyone's contribution is needed.  Consumers are part of the transformation. The demand for more sustainable products and services gives businesses a push towards new kind of targets and goals.  Governments have a role too when they plan and set up regulations and standards for citizens and businesses.  And sustainability is not all about environment. It's also about treating people, like employees and the whole society well. Information travels fast and people are getting more and more interested and aware of the level of their own and companies' whose products they use sustainability.

❓Why Sustainability Matters❓ 🌱 Why Should We Care About Sustainability? 🌱 🫒Sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s about securing a flourishing, viable future for humanity. 🫒From reducing carbon emissions to promoting social equity and fostering economic inclusivity, sustainable practices ensure that we do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs. 💚Sustainability matters because it is fundamentally about our quality of life and the legacy we leave. It's about making sure that the economic engines we fuel don't run at the cost of depleting resources to the point where they can no longer regenerate. It’s about ensuring that our practices as businesses, communities, and individuals preserve rather than degrade the health of the world around us. 💚Embracing sustainability can drive innovation. Companies that adopt sustainable practices often discover new markets, achieve greater efficiencies, and attract customers and talents who share these values. It creates a cycle of improvement that benefits not only the environment but also the bottom line. 💥 Consider this: What happens when we ignore sustainability? We face a future where resources are scarce, the divide between the haves and have-nots widens, and our children inherit a planet that's less capable of supporting life. 🧿Sustainability is not a choice; it's a necessity for ensuring a resilient, thriving planet capable of supporting future generations. 🤔 Think about this: What kind of planet do we want to leave for the next generation? Let’s discuss! 👇 #SustainabilityMatters #FutureReady #PlanetEarth #NextGeneration

The “sustainability challenge” is fundamentally one of change. It implies an acceptance of the idea that our current modes of living and doing business are not achieving the outcomes we desire and are, in fact, resulting in multiple, accelerating, negatives. Fundamental change is required.   How do we know if our efforts to change in response to the sustainability challenge will deliver real improvement and not just result in "spinning our wheels" or worse, causing more damage? At Blue North we believe that the distinction between weak and strong sustainability is the key to answering this. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dHvC6Cy3
