Driving Sustainability I : The cost of NOT being environment friendly

In the first of this three part discussion series about driving sustainability, we look at why it is so easy and comfortable to continue remaining environmentally unfriendly.

We'll look to answer what the root causes are - a lack of awareness ? No cheap alternatives ? General apathy and unwillingness to go outside the comfort zone?

We also look at specific examples of things that we may knowingly or unknowingly be doing that is environmentally unfriendly everyday, and look at what is being done elsewhere in the world to combat the problem.
