Campaign For Integrated Sustainability

About Me

Welcome to the Campain for Integrated Sustainability
Most people care about the environment but feel relatively powerless in the face of the large industries which are the main cause of most of our environmental problems. Our aim is to encourage the government of the UK to adopt policies that at little or no inconvenience would make a huge difference to the sustainability of our society as well as leading the way for other countries to follow. In other words, we want to integrate sustainability into society.
While we value and encourage the valiant efforts of individuals to "live more green" and reduce their personal consumption, expecting them to single handedly tackle huge issues such as deforrestation, pollution, soil erosion, energy conservation and climate change while industry continues to operate irresponsibly is a bit like asking them to sweep the floor during a landslide.
OUR CURRENT PROJECT IS TO GET THE UK GOVERNMENT TO PASS A LAW STATING THAT ALL PAPER USED BY GOVERNMENT-OWNED AGENCIES SHOULD BE "100% POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED PAPER FROM BRITISH SOURCES." WE NEED YOU TO EMAIL YOUR MP! THIS WOULD CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS DOMESTICALLY IN THE RECYCLING INDUSTRY AS WELL AS BEING A HUGE LEAP TOWARDS THE INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR COUNTRY. YOU CAN HELP IN 3 EASY STEPS!
1) Use www.writetothem.com which makes it easy to e-mail your MP (and MSPs where applicable) to adopt this policy, it will only take 5 minutes, use www.writetothem.com
If you need help with this don't hesitate to Message Us
2) Add Us To Myspace and Subscribe To Our Blog
3) Post a bulletin alerting people to this myspace, the url is www.myspace.com/cfisuk
THIS SPACE BELONGS TO EVERYONE WHO SENDS AN E-MAIL TO A REPRESENTATIVE. IF YOU GET A REPLY PLEASE MESSAGE IT TO US SO WE CAN POST IT AS A BLOG. PLEASE ALSO BE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT ARTICLES , YOUTUBE LINKS, PICTURES AND RECOMMENDED READING, VIEWING OR LISTENING.
Note for those who do not have myspace: Please still be encouraged to email your MP, if you get a response you can email it to [email protected] we are planning to post these responses in a blog.
