"That's right. People have a need to feel that they are part of some sustainable project. Something that will go on without them. It creates a feeling of stability.

I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It's a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that's what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.

[The] Army understands that cultural change is a long term process that requires commitment, diligence and continual evaluation. We recognise that in many ways we are behind the curve when compared to other corporate and public institutions, but we are determined to enact change in a meaningful and enduring way. We are dedicated to drawing on, and implementing, best practice by engaging with leaders who have undertaken successful and innovative programs in this field including Deloitte, the National Rugby League and the Australian Federal Police. Through these relationships we will develop methodologies and approaches to ensure sustainable diversity.

THE TERM (Sustainability) HAS BECOME so widely used that it is in danger of meaning nothing. It has been applied to all manner of activities in an effort to give those activities the gloss of moral imperative, the cachet of environmental enlightenment. "Sustainable” has been used variously to mean "politically feasible,” "economically feasible,” "not part of a pyramid or bubble,” "socially enlightened,” "consistent with neoconservative small-government dogma,” "consistent with liberal principles of justice and fairness,” "morally desirable,” and, at its most diffuse, "sensibly far-sighted.”.
