We wanted to compile resources created by and for the wider audience to anchor sustainability in their everyday lives.
Sustainability, as we saw in Intro2TASK, can be approached as a more or less abstract theoretical exercise. Here, the resources focus on media and actors who are more relatable to the lay demographic, speaking their language and to their everyday experiences.
Given the recent and evolving nature of these resources, we have not included them in the 5h30 Intro2TASK. These resources in particular should be seen as bridges between the TASK approach to sustainability and the candidates, and not as academic resources.
