Where we live in relation to our work is a key consideration to create a more sustainable lifestyle. Many solutions are available from having a home office, tele-commuting, and walking a short distance to your work place. One key is to live close to where you work and to live in close proximity to other aspects of your daily life. Using technology to video conference through your home computer or meet in a virtual world online meeting place is another solution.
The LOHAS market for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability is making an important contribution to raising people’s awareness about socially and environmentally responsible business practices. This market is estimated at $209 billion world-wide and approximately 20% of U.S. consumers. Annual LOHAS Forums provide a meeting ground for business owners and industry leaders to discuss industry trends, share ideas and learn how to be more sustainable in their manufacture of products and services in society.
