• Sustainable Development impacts on every
single aspect of our lives:
• The air we breath, the food we eat, the products
we use, the energy we consume, the waste we
create, our transport systems, our communities,
our health, our enjoyment, our quality of life and
happiness.
• Every organisation, business and individual has
an impact – sustainability is about minimising the
impact and maximising the efficiency.

Energy • Not just about renewables and windfarms.
• Efficiency is first step – getting more out of what
we have and we have plenty.
• “Each day enough energy falls to the earth than
the total amount of energy the planet’s 6 billion
inhabitants would consume in 25 years. We’ve
hardly begun to tap into the potential of solar
energy.” USA Dept of Energy.
