Wise heads: Time for reflection and inspiration for change

This is not a new discussion – we have had at least 15 sessions at Futurebuild (ecobuild) on the topic over the last 15 years. What is different is that the timescale has dramatically shortened. Jonathon Porritt warns “Who knows what lies beyond this decade? But if we haven’t dramatically changed our ways by then, genuine hope will have become the scarcest resource on earth.”

FUTUREBUILD PROPOSITION NO 8: Changing how we do things is the critical challenge for us all.
