You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself. Nelson MandelaArianna Huffington recently said at Urban Zen NYCs Conversations on Sustainable Wellness series: If theres one thing the world is starving for its wisdom, and health is connected to wisdom.We couldnt agree with her more, as we need wise and productive change now! The world is in turmoil and, until we can come together in a healthy way, life will be even more challenging than it need be. Amidst the confusion, there is a crucial need to bring business leaders to this same understanding, as they are in a position to make lasting and effective differences. Which is the very purpose of LOHAS, aka Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability.As we are all well aware, times have changed. What we were talking about three years ago is now happening: bringing bags to the grocery store, using CFL light bulbs, driving a hybrid car thankfully, these are all accepted as normal. Weve got the green bit going, got recycling sorted, so now its about ensuring green assets are fully sustainable so that everyone participates. We need to be inspired. It may be the right thing to do but it has to be worth it to turn computers off at night or refit a whole office with recyclable materials.
