Mini project: Sustainable lifestyles

January - February we're looking at sustainable lifestyles - with a special focus on how to look after ourselves and live in a healthy, well-balanced and ultimately sustainable way.

Once again we're asking ourselves: What does "sustainable" really mean?

We began exploring this by comparing two radically different lifestyles:

Huge Spring Primark Haul | Zoella and Hymn to The Great Song w/ Br. David Steindl-Rast

We found we could identify sustainable and unsustainable aspects of both lifestyles!

Now to the mini-project:

What other lifestyles are out there?
In what ways are they sustainable and unsustainable?

Choose a lifestyle and post your choice in our Global profil forum in FirstClass.

When we meet again:

Describe your lifestyle using words, pictures and even short video(s)

Critically evaluate their sustainability according to the following criteria (plus any more you think of):

• Financial - can you afford this lifestyle?
• Physical - how does this affect your body in the short and long term?
• Relationships & family life - does this lifestyle help or hinder relationships?
• Physical environment - does this lifestyle improve or damage the physical environment?
• Mental and social environment - how does this lifestyle affect other people?
• Resilience - can this lifestyle survive even if things change?
• Carrying capacity - can EVERYONE have this lifestyle?

Best of luck!
