Talk:Do our top sustainability organisations get active citizenship?

Barriers that Innovative Sustainability organisations face :

a) Difficulty to influence change particularly when other businesses offer  similar services (not like for like) (i)it is not illegal (ii) There is no differentiation   with Registration with the Environment Agency

b) Unsustainable services are cheaper, because they are polluting

c) Large Contractors continue using unsustainable services since they are cheaper

d) The Public Sector normally comments they are unable to change due to existing contracts, or  that they have a large Contractor and it is their responsibility

e) It is myth but many believe that large organisations are fully upto date with regulations,  Best Practice, Sustainability

f) Difficult for micro organisations to be taken seriously particularly if they are women

g) By a Sustainable organisation educating others, copy cats dilute and distorte the original operation

h) It should be illegal for others to steal the knowledge under deception
