who specialises in managing the design and construction of large-scale building projects.. With a strong background in.
I have three children who are very aware and are taking decisions which will mean their impact on the world will be positive.. What should I do in this contrite state?Should I wear a hair shirt, carry around my guilt, or go and live like a hermit?.
The reality is that no matter how much I do personally, on my own, it will have a completely negligible effect on the problem.UK carbon emissions are less than 1% of global emissions.I am one of 66 million people in the UK.
On the other hand, how can I encourage, debate or support others to reduce their emissions without being willing to act and experience the process myself.Taking the wood out of my own eye before I try to take it out of the eyes of others..
The answer, I feel, to the limitation of an individual impact is multiplication.
Multiplying each effect by ten, by a thousand, by a million, etc.Some medicines are manufactured, prescribed, and sold which have little or no positive impact on human health.
There is evidence that medicines commonly prescribed to women do not work.There is a good deal of published research and perspectives on the oversupply of marginally beneficial, or even harmful, drugs..
If we could remove this demand for drugs along with severely reducing the waste of wrongly sold, wrongly prescribed, never-taken and out-of-shelf-life waste, this would have a significant impact on the environmental footprint of the industry.. One of the points raised was the lack of general knowledge about the impact manufacturing and delivery of medicine has on the environment.Greater public awareness may help to reduce some of this wastage through a reduction in demand..
