I am currently learning about sustainable business practices. About hows, whys and wheres. At times I feel that being sustainable is like using the 'Open Source' principle. Everyone contributes and everyone gains.
That there is no "away" for our waste is a fact and everyone needs to contribute to the very notion of being sustainable. A few hands cleaning up 7 billion people's waste is not a balanced proportion. Ideally, it should be 1:1.
With the concept of 'Open Source' hitting so well in the software industry and with the easy-to-use collaboration tools, I wonder if this approach could lead to a global social reform. There are predictions being made that Open Source is the way to go for many other industries. This makes me think if Open source is the right way to achieve complete sustainability.
