Why young people?

by admin last modified 05-06-2009 09:55

Young people are the future!

Central to the establishment of the Sustainable Living Challenge was the belief that young people are best placed to respond to the challenges of sustainability.  As Einstein reminds us, to solve a problem we cannot employ that same thinking that created it.  The SLC encourages young people to be creative in how they respond to sustainability in their community.

The SLC Team believes that if young people are engaged in the positive, creative and innovative challenge of sustainability then the sky is the limit.  Of course, we need to appreciate the reality around us and the scale of the challenge confronting us - and we acknowledge that this is often a source of inspiration and motivation for many.

Young people by their very nature want to make a positive difference and leave their mark on the world. The SLC encourages young people to consider themselves agents of positive change in their school, household and wider community.
