Why so hard?

During the planning process of the conference, it has become evident that we all need to change they way we think. We have been taught to be good consumers and put the benefits of our own organization or family before anything else. Sustainable thinking requires that the common benefits are the main ones to be concerned about without necessarily ourselves as the direct beneficiaries. This means that we need to question a lot, such as our purchases and travels.

It is not easy to start to think what is really needed and what could be done for the benefit of others, rather then just thinking individualistically. A new way of cautious consumerism is rising. All of our actions have an effect and if the effect causes a chain reaction, a positive spin towards sustainability, we have been successful. The satisfaction that can be received from that is huge.

The Solutions conference is looking for such new way of thinking that has caused chain reactions for the benefit of us all. You can start today by asking for locally produced food in a restaurant or from the shop. Good luck!
