Which of these areas is becoming more available to coming

generations?

Health, water and food?

The Environment?

Economic stability?

Communities?

We see most heading in a counter –sustainable direction

Health, water and food

The Environment?

Economic stability?

Communities?

We need a model to help analyze development that will

show the way forward to:

A healthy life…

Preserving the environment…

Keeping organizations stable…

And communities thriving.

Let’s sit down together and look at the way things behave around us and

how they affect other things

It’s all about BEHAVIOUR of

people and systems

We analyze the behaviour of people and systems and their

effects on other systems

Negative effect < caused by < behaviour

Example:

Pollutants to air, soil and water< car emissions < driving a car

Negative effect< caused by < behaviour

HealthyEnvironment

We must limit the burden we place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations

From Individuals

Example:

Pollutants to air, soil and water < car

emissions

< driving a car

It sounds so simple.It is.

If no-one ever turned an ignition key, cars would never emit pollutants

HealthyEnvironment

We can identify behaviour which is both positive and negative for the environment

From Individuals

HealthyEnvironment

In turn, we can identify behaviour of the environment which is positive and negative for individuals

From Individuals

People generally understand what crossing this line entails.

And society has developed measures and regulations for this over the years.

Communities must limit the burden they place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations

From Communities

Example:

Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste

<putting waste in disposal bin

Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste

<putting waste in disposal bin

It sounds so simple.It is.

If no-one ever threw anything in the domestic rubbish, there would be no landfill leakage

HealthyEnvironment

In the other direction, communities benefit from being in a healthy environment

From Communities

HealthyEnvironment

We must limit the burden corporations and other organisations place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations
