FACILITATING SUSTAINABE CULTURES

As a child, I remember doing an experiment with fruit flies in a jar with fruit. The flies, in this closed system, continued to multiply and multiply until eventually there were too many flies for the available food sources and for the space that contained it. Once the fly population reached a critical level, the entire population rapidly died off.

In the Industrial Age, we began to use machines to rapidly exploit the resources of the earth often without regard to the impact on the communities we served. We behaved as if our planet was an “open system” with unlimited resources to feed our desires. As we looked back at the earth from outer space in the 60’s, a new world view began to emerge… that this is all we have and our resources are truly limited.

One of the biggest challenges of our time is to come back into balance with our environment and society while remaining profitable. Enlightened leaders know, that they cannot continue to operate in the ways of the past without irreversible damage to the environment and our social systems, let alone the reputation and survival of the organization itself.
