‣ Energy is infinite and cheap!‣ There will always be enough room to dispose of all our
waste,!‣ Humans are the primary species on earth; others are less
important, and many are irrelevant!‣ Basic resources such as water and topsoil are unlimited.
If limits or problems are encountered, markets and new technologies will re-allocate financial resource so we can continue with our current ways of living and working.!
‣ Productivity and standardization are keys to economic progress,!
‣ Economic growth and rising GDP are the best way to ‘lift all boats’ and reduce social impact

‣ Surf the flux. Live within our energy income by relying on forms of energy that come from renewable sources such as solar, wind, tidal, and bio-based inputs!
‣ Zero to landfill. Everything from cars and iPods to office buildings and machines, is 100% recyclable, remanufacturable or compostable.!
‣ We are borrowing the future from our children; we have to pay it back. Our first responsibility is to leave a healthy global biosphere for our children - their children’s children...!
‣ In a global village, there is only one boat, and a hole sinks us all.

It is always useful to find out what participants felt they learnt from a session. Here!is one method which could be used at the end of each session.!Ask the participants to think about or write down one thing that:!■ they learnt from the session (Head)!■ they felt from the session (Heart)!■ they will do as a result of the session (Hand)!Encourage them to share their responses with the other participants and yourself, and to take any written notes home as a reminder to themselves.
