À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

“Species do not exist in isolation; we are interconnected,”

in a circle of change and a part of a system,

a system that can be changed, transformed,

dealt with collectively through collaboration,

in communion.

See, sustainability is like a supply chain.

The components of a supply chain

contain so many things,

each one of us might be one of these things or two.

These things have a carbon weight, an impact,

a footprint.

Knowing our place in the chain, this circle of economy

during pain and to collaborate to amplify change

is to cycle through the chaos, filter the noise,

control the flames.

Because the chair is burning,

it’s turning black and brown

to carbon cylinders and charcoal cinders.

These things go from the cradle to the grave,

through five phases of a life cycle.

We are all found in the cycle of change,

and as the world burns,

sustainability is not a cure but a remedy,

a treatment for strengthening a weak system’s immunity against

volatility,

uncertainty,

complexity,

ambiguity.

The principles of sustainable development are like nutrients that

feed our macroeconomy,

ones that play with innovation,

ones that favour the system be sustainable over the product itself.

Because it is not a mere means to an end.

In the cycle of change, treat sustainability as a business, bathe it

in commercial light.

Embedded in these practices to generate, regenerate and define

a system

that is larger than we think it is, is resilience.

Resilience lying within each one of us, like sentinels amidst a

crowded,

over polluted mass of noise and chaos in the circle of change.

Sustainability seeks to

build,

grow,

shift,

towards harmony,

resilience, autonomy.

From raw materials to order fulfilment,

how are our collective actions economically sustainable, impactful,

and solution-driven?

How are they vehicles of change?

In a burning world, constantly on the go, choose

20% reflection-introspection,

resurrection-80% action.

Not as a means to an end but to define the system,

this circle of change.
