Featured article. . . and extract Why it matters Sustainable livelihood is about meaningful work opportunities for all, especially young people, but also all aspects of what might be called quality of life at work, including for example work satisfaction, work/life balance and fair reward. A sustainable community provides livelihood opportunities for local people that need them [1], especially young people. Opportunity can be encouraged through a variety of approaches, not just by more traditional or conventional means. Social inclusion involves economic inclusion. To get to a future of work as if people and planet mattered, it seems unlikely that there be a 'silver bullet' type solution, rather it may be that a myriad of interlinking solutions will help. Quotes “What we enviros need to understand is the centrality of work in people’s lives—and that in a society with deep social insecurity, your job is everything,” says Uehlein. “One’s livelihood, retirement, hopes, and dreams. We have everything to fear from an environmental movement that is silent about workers. Sustainability starts at the kitchen table, meaning our kid’s education, savings, food, and next job.” Joe Uehlein [2] "In an ideal society, everyone should work for the wellbeing of others."

WhatCommunity action for sustainability, or CASwiki, is information and knowledge sharing, but with a focus on what might be useful to community groups and active citizens. You can help.

Check out our current list of 269 locations. If the location you're interested in isn't there, can you help by sharing some information about that place in either an existing article, or through starting a new article? ...more Why"We start with the simple proposition that citizens should be able to influence decisions which affect the places and communities in which they live, work and visit." Sustainability isn't just something for experts. It's about everyone's quality of life and we all have a part to play. CASwiki aims to help link up community and personal action for sustainability worldwide. ...more |

Village pump
It's likely that a 'village pump' type page (a sort of 'global' to-do list) specifically for CASwiki will be developed. In the meantime if you have any comments or suggestions please include them on our talk page
