Holistic Sustainability from the perspective of the Individual

An individual should do the ‘right’ things for the ‘right reasons’ - ‘do’ being behaviors and 'reasons’ being values. Since behaviors are influenced by values, and since Self-Transcendence (ST) values are linked to sustainability, it’s important to strengthen ST values more often than SE values if we’re going to achieve both healthy people and healthy planet.
