Sustainability Background

Sustainability through respect and innovation

What does your tagline mean?

True sustainability is a radical concept with profound implications – but only recently so. For millennia, we lived in alignment with the basic operating principle that guides the rest of life on Earth – to bring about more life. Today I live in Canada, where our per capita resource consumption is the seventh largest in the world. This unsustainability is driving breaches of Earth’s boundaries on multiple fronts. It’s in our hands to change that.

Respect is the next concept. It centers the Earth, reconciliation, anti-racism, women and LGBTQ2S+. It includes consent; integrity and sovereignty; and all beings.

In this world, with that goal and that principle – innovation gets us out of this mess.

This is where we have fun. Let’s go!

Wherever possible, Ishka Consulting operates within the Indigenous governance framework in which a project takes place.

Erin’s experience, understanding and approach was shaped over time working closely with Inuit throughout Inuit Nunaat and by early career experiences with the Heiltsuk Nation and the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance on the West Coast. A seventh generation Canadian, Erin’s early teachers were the animals and plants of Algonquin Anishinabe Aki in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. She is committed to deepening her relationships with the communities, practices, and philosophies of the places she loves so much and calls home.
