Q: What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?
A: My vision of a sustainability is equitable, fair, just, fulfilling, friendly, lively, and harmonious. I think a lot needs to change to bring this vision to reality - but I think it all comes down to living a more intentional, informed, and engaged life. For example, being intentional about our purchases and only buying things that we need or truly bring us joy, being informed on the impacts of our purchases like deforestation, slave labor, plastic waste, etc. , and engaging with our neighbors to share what we know and to create a community that cares for each other.
