Dear Colleagues, A request for help from down-under.
I carry out work with companies making the transition to sustainable development, often needing to start right at the beginning with 'green housekeeping': energy conservation, waste minimisation and recycling, transport patterns, water usage and so on. I generally work with middle to senior managers who then take on the education and training of staff - sometimes aided by me, but we mostly work on the 'training the trainers' principle. I have just started work with a new cohort of companies, and one manager asked me last week if there were any cartoons/videos she could use with staff that, for example, demonstrated how many trees were represented by their conservation targets. Does anyone have suggestions? I've passed on to her the website Michael Maniates recommended a while ago with the Annie Leonard 'Story of Stuff' video, which is a good start and works well with my students, too. Any other suggestions gratefully received. And If I can also take the opportunity for an ad - do any of you subscribe to the International Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development (www.inderscience.com) which I edit? I know that at least a couple of you are already on the editorial board. As well as general issues, we also have recent and forthcoming issues on climate change and transport/tourism, moral responsibility and SD, sustainable consumption, education for sustainability and sustainability assessment. I am currently working on the next two general issues and always happy to receive ideas for papers, guest-edited special issues and/or offers to review papers. Thank you in advance for any help. I find membership of the listserve helpful and stimulating. Kind regards, Delyse Springett.
