A whirlwind of sustainable success for The University of Tasmania

The University of Tasmania is aiming to be the one of the most sustainable universities on the planet. 

Tackling major challenges such as sustainability and the climate crisis, and working towards that all-important new and better normal, takes unprecedented levels of collaboration.

Nothing is a solo act. Everything is a huge collaboration.

The National Tactical Response Group (NTRG), who handle serious incidents in prisons across England and Wales, is seeking old and disused furniture to use in its intensive training.

Choose where you focus your energy. Choose a better normal. Choose a better life. Choose a better future. 

Making our own choices is very important as it gives our life meaning and influences the way we feel.

While we focus on moving forward towards a sustainable future that benefits everyone, the choices we make now matter more than ever before.

Incorporating and emphasising choices that curtail impacts on the environment will help significantly in the battle against the climate crisis. The way you choose spend your money, travel, and even eat all contribute not only to your own life but to the bigger overall picture.

Choosing to make the right informed decisions is one of the great moral challenges we face; if we don’t, we risk endangering everyone who is alive now and also future generations. Here we bring you loads of actionable tips and tools to help you improve your decision-making skills.

As author, coach, motivational speaker, and philanthropist Tony Robbins once said:

“Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.”

Bouncing back from adversity can be exhausting.

The challenge for us all is to ensure that, in the midst of coping with the pandemic, we don’t miss the life-changing, planet-saving opportunity we’ve been given.

We must counter difficulties with resilience and keep on working towards a new and better normal with persistence.

However, often the challenges can seem overwhelming, self-doubt and despair begins to take over and we feel like throwing in the towel.

But, giving up is actually the most common form of failure. Here we have gathered a round-up of inspirational stories and ideas that show anything is possible with a healthy dose of grit and determination.

You’re in the thick of it. Covid-19 is taking centre stage, but the climate crisis is still waiting in the wings.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has emphasised that we must pursue a green, resilient and inclusive economic recovery. Nevertheless, we have to remember that the pandemic probably won’t automatically bring everyone to their senses and provide the correct course of action.

And it isn’t going to happen overnight either.

We’ve written about seizing the moment and bouncing forward previously, but we’re in for the long haul and the need for action remains urgent. So, we must think smarter, stay focused, and adopt a bold and positive mindset.

Here we have ideas and inspiration to help you stay persistent and determined, no matter how disheartened you may feel, in the continued fight for a better, fairer future.

Hang in there and stay tenacious!

The Covid-19 pandemic has turned the world upside down. It has exposed major weaknesses in the economy as well as deep-seated inequalities in our society.

Yet, our sudden, dramatic shift to a less carbon-intensive lifestyle reveals the scope of what we can achieve in just days.

As the world recovers, we have a chance to reset the clock and build back better than before. We have written about why we need to seize the moment previously, but now we need to continue and the build momentum.

What happens next could change everything.

These actionable tips and tool will keep us moving forward to drive the necessary changes to survive and flourish in a post-pandemic world.
