Our Experience, Achievements & Knowledge In Sustainability

Some of these reports and sources are listed in the ‘sources’ lists of our content.

– We’ve been mentioned by, referenced or cited by, or our research/information has been used by a range of individuals & recognised organisations or institutions

Examples include universities and colleges, other education organisations (like schools), researchers (in research journals), submissions to governments by groups or individuals, companies and corporate entities, other professional groups or entities, and more

 

– Our research and information has been generally consumed or used by a range of individuals and groups

Such as others in the ‘sustainability field’, others outside the ‘sustainability’ field, students and teachers/educators, and people generally interested in learning more about, or consuming information about sustainability &/or related topics

 

What We Look To Do With Our Content

We look to better understand different issues, consider improvement, or consider how they interact and relate with each other.

We also look at potential tradeoffs to be made between different decisions we make across society.

Our information is a collection and refinement of other information, combined with our own developed and unique knowledge

The information we provide is not definitive, but rather another informed viewpoint to add to the other informed viewpoints available in the public forum.

 

What The Name ‘Better Meets Reality’ Means

The term ‘Better Meets Reality’ is a representation that there are usually challenges and limitations, tradeoffs, and also competing interests and priorities that come with decisions on almost any issue across society.

These different decisions can affect a range of parties (like individuals, groups, wider society, the environment, and so on) in different ways.

We acknowledge that ‘perfect’ solutions or ‘fully complete’ solutions to some issues & problems don’t exist, so instead of looking for a perfect solution, a solution that considers all pros and cons and makes the best of the reality of the problem is more practical.

We try to look at what is happening to create a problem, and what the different outcomes might be when different decisions are made to approach or address that problem.

For this reason, any ‘solutions’ mentioned on the site might be considered exploratory rather than definitive.

We try to update information and data as it becomes available in the future.

This may mean that previous interpretations or best practices in approaching a certain problem can eventually be superseded, so, we try to stay somewhat detached from previous positions or assumptions.
