The three pillars of sustainability are environment, economic and social. Less formally these pillars are known as people, planet and profits. Knowing this, I do think that we fail at supporting a vital part of these three pillars.

It is so easy to speak of fair pay and equal opportunity regardless of race, gender, marital status, religious beliefs, disability or political opinions. And yet this is a vital part of sustainability that often gets overlooked and consequently social injustice is deeply threaded in our culture.

I would contend that not only does social injustice undermine our efforts toward a sustainable future but also the two are completely disconnected in our present society.

Stay tuned for E166, The Disconnect Between Justice and Sustainability.

Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
