Living Sustainably Course 2013: Defining Sustainability
This year’s Living Sustainably course (BCBOT) started on Monday and each year students are asked to write a personal definition of sustainability in no more than 50 words. Last year’s students wrote some amazing definitions, many of which were posted. To mark their achievement and to give our new students some inspiration you can download the complete list from last year here.
Watch out for new definitions which will be posted over the coming weeks.
