The Real Golden Ring of Sustainability - Sustainable Living

It seems the macro picture is full of the buzz on Sustainability. Government, Education and Business are all reaching for the “Golden Ring of Sustainability”. The G8 are putting an emphasis on Global Warming. Universities are offering Sustainability MBAs. Business consultants are mushrooming to help businesses catch the Sustainability Wave.

Questions for Thought

Is Sustainability only a question of Global Warming?
Is Sustainability only a question of how to “Catch the New Sustainability Wave”?
Is Sustainability only a question of how to gain Return on Investment (ROI)?
Is Sustainability only a question of preserving global resources?
Is Sustainability only a question of developing a “Sustainable Supply Chain”?
Is Sustainability only a question of “Sustainable Products”?

Having two MBAs - ROI, “catching the new wave”, preserving global resources, having a “Sustainable Supply Chain” and finding the best “Sustainable Products”, I believe are important business questions. Yet maybe several other important questions need added to the equation.

The Real Golden Ring Questions

Can Sustainability include a “Sustainable Leader”?
Can Sustainability include a “Sustainable Management”?
Can Sustainability include a “Sustainable Work Force”?
Can Sustainability include a “Sustainable Employee”?
Can Sustainability include “Sustainable Living”?

These questions need to be included in the discussion of Sustainability. Saving the world from Global Warming includes saving individuals and families from 24/7 living to have the ability to live “Sustainable Lives” and enjoy “Sustainable Living”!
