Lecture Notes

Today lecture was conducted by Murray, theme leader of the Regional Group. Murray proposed an interesting take on sustainability. We are mostly familiar with the model of the triple bottom line. The components of Economics, Environment and Society. This lecture proposes to borden our perspective to better understand the sustainability question.



The model above was provided by Murray .

What i take from this and what my make for my understanding, are the three interdependent spheres that are present.

Each sphere is a container of the other but in order for each to be successful and prosper what it contains must flourish. The ultimate and final sphere is our Biophysical Environment (or Plant)  is what is given priority. i like this idea of our planet given priority  but yet seeing it as a container for all other components of human life
