Sustainability is a complex and contested concept, but at its essence represents the hope for a healthy, just and bright future for us all.

The course focuses less on defining sustainability than envisioning sustainability – what would a sustainable world look like? And how can we create it together?

It required a lot of planning within my busy schedule, but I started with three meals. I also planned for two of them to be meatless and veggie-filled.
