What hinders me from acting in a sustainable way?

Economy and Climate Deepen your knowledge What hinders me from acting in a sustainable way?

Obstacles to sustainable action
We want you to learn
  • To reflect upon your personal obstacles for living sustainably
  • To realize where sustainability is systemically disabled and cannot be reached through individual (consumption-based) choices
   
We ask you to do
  1. Reflect upon what it is that hinders you from acting in a sustainable way,  distinguishing between inner or internal and outer or external obstacles.
  2. In the diagram below, note down the inner obstacles (within the person) and the outer obstacles (around the person). 
Aspects to discuss Many of the obstacles stem from factors outside of ourselves and our control. Even if we want to act sustainably, it is very difficult to do so in many fields and impossible in other regards. If systemic factors disable us from sustainability, individual consumption choices cannot change that system. For example, if you live in the countryside without public transportation, you cannot choose a sustainable mode of transport as an individual. Sustainable and feasible infrastructure solutions would be needed. We need to establish and strengthen sustainable modes of provisioning human needs.
