Images - Seeing what sustainability looks like

< Resources, < Resources for groups

Why use images?
Photos help to show that sustainability is about real, practical and everyday concerns of ordinary people. They can also emphasise the positive and constructive aspects of community action for sustainability. Suitable photos accompanyng articles about local action can provide a sense of place, and photos generally can also provide a sense of timing or season.
