  3. “The financial crisis was caused by atomistic, egocentric and rational behaviour. … A tunnel vision leads to a ‘grabbing what you can’ mentality. But with 6,7 billion people on this planet and our current methods of production and consuming, we are moving towards disaster. … We urgently need a new orientation, a new way of life, and a new way of taking care of our needs: we truly need a more sustainable future.” Herman Wijffels, former CEO of Rabobank and SER www.worldconnectors.nl

  4. We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein

  5. “Our plan for 2015 is an evolution of our Vision 2010 strategy. We will continue to build on the key global trends to expand our leadership in key businesses such as home healthcare, LED lighting solutions and healthy living and personal care. I firmly believe Philips is uniquely positioned for growth as it continues to simply make a difference to people’s lives with meaningful, sustainable innovations” President and Chief Executive Officer Gerard Kleisterlee. We are committed to being a leading company in matters of sustainability. We look at sustainability through the lenses of our sectors and define specific ambitions for each of them, as communicated in our recent EcoVision5 program.

  6. To recapitulate… Sustainable: taking care of • environmental factors (e.g. climate, pollution, deforestation) • socialfactors(e.g. poverty, welfare, local development) Innovation: -new and creative ideas and solutions -new products, processes and markets

  7. Definition of sustainable development: Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED): Our Common Future (1987) (also known as the “Brundlandt report”)

  20. The urgency of sustainability • On this site you also can find: • A fact sheet • A glossary • Links to NGO’s • http://www.storyofstuff.com • Scripts: • http://www.storyofstuff.com/international/pdfs/script_german.pdf • http://www.storyofstuff.com/international/pdfs/script_dutch.pdf With subtitles DE or NL

  21. Discussion and questions • In how far are the problems as urgent as ‘The Story of Stuff’ suggests? • What is your opinion on ‘The golden arrow’ of consumption. Do you think it influences your own behavior? • Do you know examples of the externalization of costs? • What do you expect of this course? What do you hope to learn or to discuss?

  22. The presentation in week 3 and 4 • Search for reliable sources • Search for telling photographs, statistics, cartoons, news items and video fragments • Take care of a transparent, attractive and logic structure • Do not try to do everything: take two or three telling examples.

  23. Example: meat and sustainability What themes pop up unto your mind?

  24. Statistics can tell a lot!

  25. Pictures can tell a lot!

  26. Comparisons can tell a lot! If everyone in the UK abstained from eating meat five days a week… this would save more than the emission reductions, which would be achieved if the total electricity use of all households in the UK was eliminated Source: meatthetruth.nl

  27. Video fragments can tell a lot! “Meat the truth” Trailer of the documentary made by the Dutch “Partij voor de dieren” (“party for the animals”) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z-upjfFCA4&hl=nl
