What is Sustainability? Interview with Robin Cape
Jun 24th, 2009 | By derekgordon | Category: What's NewsRobin Cape, Asheville Councilwoman and sponsor of the city’s Committee on Energy and Environment, offers her perspective on sustainability from a local government level. “Change starts at home” is an old saying, but it is still relevant. We often forget how important local government agencies and officials are when we aim to change our communities.
Ms. Cape gives us advice on how to approach sustainability and her unique perspective as a public servant makes this a video not to be missed.
Here at TRT we wholeheartedly agree with Ms. Cape’s points. By looking at the economical, social and environmental impacts of an issue, a real perspective is gained and the implications that a whole community face can be understood. Thinking about a community – in the present and the future – really sums up what sustainability is all about.
