These days we seem surrounded by what appear to be some very big problems. There’s global terrorism, an international financial crisis, water scarcity, resource depletion, mass migration, wealth inequality, global pandemics and last but not least, global warming. No doubt it’s enough to make some people want to throw their hands up in despair and exclaim, ‘It’s all too much!’ Fortunately, Sustained doesn’t think so and nor do we at The Converging World which is why we’re delighted to be working with Sustained on this Carbon Special. We both recognize the interconnectedness of all these ‘problems’ and so direct our actions to achieving more than just one result. For example, The Converging World, a UK charity, builds wind turbines in countries like India and then uses the incomes from the electricity and carbon credits to tackle social and environmental issues.
