A lot of consideration, collaboration and reflection went into the process. All the while you, our supporters, were front and centre.

I was considering my health the other day and casually concluded that I am generally in good health.  However, I have been having symptoms for over two years which I know are the result of all sorts of imbalances. Some are small and short-term that come and go, others have been with me for a while now and still other are old friends that have been around forever. The more recent chronic symptoms I know are related to my dedication to overworking for the "good" cause, and are rooted in deep seated beliefs and values the are the foundation of my commitment to social change.

Burn-Out - the number one issue that affects change agents and is taking down some of our best people. Not to mention that we don't seem to be walking our talk. Intellectually we know high levels of stress are not good for us, our organizations or our cause. But it doesn’t seem to stop us from hitting the wall. Splat - down for the count - burned out, exhausted emotionally, physically and spiritually.

And we don’t hit the wall just once; we do it over and over again.

Sustainability! Now here’s a used and abused word that appears all the time these days. Everyone is covering themselves in it. For example, I noticed the other day that the Tar Sand folks are suggesting they use less water to make a litre of oil than it takes to make a cup of coffee. Ergo, I should conclude that if they are only using what I use every day, it can’t be that bad – unless I want to see myself as engaging in unsustainable behaviour.

But wait a minute. They want me to use their criteria for defining what sustainability is.
