Sustainability Illustrated is a website resource that provides short videos on a variety of sustainability-related topics.
Algonquin College’s Sustainability Lens video was created by the team behind Sustainability Illustrated.
The Sustainability Lens video references concepts explained in other Sustainability Illustrated videos, such as the video: Sustainability Explained with Natural Science.
The “Lean Burrito” video from Paul Akers is included in Introduction to Sustainability, Part II.
Paul Akers has additional videos on the topic of lean as well as other resources on his website.
When a learner experiences the Seven Generations Teaching in the Introduction to Sustainability, Part II online learning module, it is followed by a reflection activity:
“Now that you’ve watched this video that shares an Indigenous teaching, take a moment to reflect upon the concepts of resiliency and sustainability.
What images or phrases provide guidance when you think about resiliency for people, communities and life on planet earth?”
The reflection activity then prompts the user to record their thoughts with the instructions:
“Take a minute to type a few key words that come to mind in the box below.”
The Sustainability Lens video is part of Introduction to Sustainability, Part II.
This video was created in collaboration with Sustainability Illustrated. Additional videos that focus on related topics of sustainability can be found on the Sustainability Illustrated website.
The short video provides a starting point for what it means to apply a “sustainability lens” to envision a situation by thinking of positive outcomes for the environment, society while balancing out the economics.
World Water Day takes place annually on March 22.
