Environmental dimensions of sustainable lifestyles Arthur Dahl International Environment Forum

Focus on individuals Looked yesterday at the big picture Now we can focus on the question people always ask: What can we do as individuals?

Water Consumption: washing, bathing, laundry Gardening Sanitation Pollution

Energy use Economy, efficiency in: Heating Cooling Cooking Lighting Appliances Can we reduce our emissions of CO 2 ?

Transport Motor vehicles Public transport Bicycle Walking Reduce the need for transport

Food Fast food or organic Local or fair trade Nutritional balance Pesticides/hormones/antibiotics Meat or vegetarian Genetically-modified organisms

Clothing Natural fibres: agricultural impacts Synthetic fibres: persistent, non- renewable Socially-responsible manufacture Changing styles or full use Brand names and fashions

Housing Location Materials Health impacts Energy efficiency Social effects

Recreation/tourism/ entertainment Impact on natural environment Transport Ecotourism Constructive or destructive

Aesthetics Beauty Natural versus man-made Respecting cultural diversity
