This piece identifies six external things that any one individual can do to effect positive global change; it then goes on to address the seventh crucial arena of internal development and presence, and how these contribute to global sustainability. [Co-Director’s note: Although I was operating from an integrally informed framework in 2024, this is still a young expression of an integral understanding of sustainability. I address two of the elements of Integral Theory: interiors and exteriors (quadrants) and developmental levels of the interiors.]
