What does sustainable work and research mean to you? (not only in the ecological context)
It means that a sustainable coverage of internet everywhere so that I can get my work done anytime and from anywhere. Also means a access to libraries “online or real" But mostly it means that I personally are able to work, not bored not tired, just have the energy and the well to do the work. That needs coworkers with certain attitude and lots of energy with certain mindset to achieve the goals required.
In your opinion, what need to be done to make the world more peaceful?
- Without discrimination, people will feel equal.
- With renewable sources of energy, people won’t worry about providing it from elsewhere to avoid wars and to provide a stable economical situation.
- With a new generations educated about the safe treatment to use with the sources of our planet, there should be peace.
How do you plan to share the results of the forum in a lasting way?
By posting it on the JMU website and social media. With the right marketing it should be spread out between other scholars and universities.
Which animal would you consider the better human?
Owls, they are silent most of the time, minding their business and fly on silent mood, which mean they achieve what’s needed to be achieved without propaganda.
