Consequences
Everything we do has consequences – but very few impacts are all bad, even if they seem that way at first. COVID-19 is having devastating impacts, but in time we may look back and see that it has changed key behaviours around air travel, appreciating nature, working remotely, switching to renewables and work-life balance. In my first book, Beyond Reasonable Greed, I used elephants as a metaphor for sustainable business. Elephants are matriarchal, intelligent and community-oriented, but can be destructive. Yet even these impacts create new pathways, access to food and niche habitats for others in the web of life.
