The future's bright: the future's green
Article Abstract:
It is vital that ordinary people are helped to understand the principles of sustainable development, according to Earth Centre Chief Executive Jonathan Smales. It is clear that steel has a significant role to play in sustainable development, as new steel already contains a significant amount of recycled material and steel is also easier to reuse than heavyweight construction. He believes that the Earth Centre, which plays a valuable educational role, must take its ecological responsibilities seriously, and for this reason it invests extensively in land reclamation and habitat improvement.
