Our Vision: Engineering a sustainable future for the built environment applying where possible ‘One Planet Living’ philosophy.
Today’s society faces the daunting task of building a new relationship with the natural world. This new relationship is captured by the concept of ‘sustainability’ which centres on meeting current human needs while preserving the environment and natural resources required by future generations. Hilson Moran’s Sustainability group actively promotes ‘One Planet Living’ philosophy and has developed a range of consultancy services to realise this concept across the global urban environment. This has been promoted by the leading thinkers over the last three hundred years:
‘There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed.’ – Gandhi
‘We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.’
– Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
‘C’est une triste chose de penser que la nature parle et que le genre humain n’écoute pas.’ – Victor Hugo
‘We must learn what sustainability means in practice if we are to apply it to our daily lives and restore the health and vitality of our planet.’ – Sir David Attenborough
‘We are now running out of time, and the question now is not what is happening to the climate, but how bad will it be before the world starts doing enough?’
– Jonathon Porritt (2007) |
