Attainable or mere buzzword?
At the end of the day after all is said and done, much more would have been said than done.
Much like this shot, it’s all about the correct perspective.
Just as more extract (supplements) does not guarantee better health, more sharpness alone does not make a better lens. It’s all about balance and the trick is actually finding that elusive balance.
It’ll be a while yet before the world swings back to any semblance of equilibrium.

The artwork features two people representing the alternatives for sustainable fashion. The woman holds a boat shuttle for handmade loom weaving and there is mending visible on the man's denim jacket. He is smelling marigolds which is a natural dye. Both figures are standing in front of mounds of clothes reminding us to support slow fashion and reduce the amount of textiles going into landfills and reduce fashion waste.

The word sustainability can be heard every day, on too many occasions. The idea of green bicycles might no be so bad. I can see the wink.

'Landscaped' 'Ornamental Grass' is what I was told. Well, to me they looked a bit like a jungle in a bad sort of way- this grass is what we could call a weed in Europe I think too. I tried helping my sister out a bit by tidying up the front garden, now I have cuts all over my hands, even with gloves on. In short- I don't like these plants.
The River Ouse which flows though the English city of York floods often. These flood gates protect the houses along the river bank and were in use within the past month.
Light breeze, early morning, ebb tide, fish biting — maintaining social distance on the lagoon.
Gold Coast sunrise on the Currumbin Creek Estuary — where fish are big and boats are small.

On the Bord na Mona peat railways, Boora/Blackwater system. It's the end of the line for Derrinough Briquette Factory which closes at the end of the month.
A train of peat heading for the factory passes the wind turbines which now provide a more sustainable energy source from the bogs.

I've been doing research on the environmental and social impacts of ports, and let me tell you, ports can be dirty places! The port facility itself can be energy intensive and emit pollutants, and then if you add all the ships and trucks and rail... whoa. Making ports more sustainable is an important goal for us.
The Port of Long Beach, shown above, is one port that is making great strides. One simple idea that cuts down pollutants and green house gases is to require ships and trucks to "plug in" for their electricity, so they're not idling their own vehicles while waiting.
Sustainability and neo-ecology are the megatrends of our time. The topic of sustainability will be addressed in a target-group-oriented way via modular approaches consisting of keynotes, empathetic inspirations and hands-on workshop sessions, and will lead to prototypical developments of new solution strategies in the participants’ own contexts. The workshop offers a complete package based on the artistic and technological approach of Ars Electronica and the technical, economic and systemic know-how of the Institute for Clean Technology.
