What makes a transformation

When we discuss transformation towards a social-ecological future, we talk about policies to change, like carbon emission caps. And we talk about the possibilities of technology, like energy efficiency. Transformation happens on a different level. People make policy and people build and use technology. Talking about transformation means talking about people. We have to be willing to transform ourselves. Transformation is about how we eat, what we do in our vacation, how we work, how we lead, how we engage. It’s about what we say to friends, family and coworkers. It’s about practicing what we say. Transformation touches every realm of life. It doesn’t happen out there, it happens in us first.
