It’s a big question, and one which Beyond Green Living were keen to hear the answer to as they joined a packed theatre at the Royal Geographical Society, all intently listening to what Sir Stuart Rose, Rt Hon Hilary Benn and Andy Hobsbawm would say on the matter.

Well chaired by Jo Confino, (Guardian Sustainable Business Network), the evening saw each speaker explain what role their own sector could play, be it business, politics or the creative industry. It’s possible the speakers strayed from the question a little, but the evening nonetheless provided some very interesting food for thought on around for Beyond Green Living. What can, and indeed must, each sector offer if we are to be sustainable and just as important, how can they work together to achieve the joint goal of sustainability?
