1. What is your vision for a sustainable world ?
A sustainable world is one where each one is conscious of how he or she lives. Every action becomes a meaningful choice, a choice made with enough information. Each person is respectful of the life of each other and is knowledgeable about the world around us. Each person lives a meaningful life filled with intent. A race of conscious consumers and deliberate speakers. A world where all the people are focused on making life meaningful, where only the things that matter matter, where we all make a choice. Choice is an action but the best choice is made through informed decision.
2. What are you planning to do to make this vision a reality ?
I would live my life with deliberate actions. I would continue to advocate informed decisions and an ethical lifestyle. As well as simplifying life, it might be through the KonMari method or minimalism, but I will continue to search for methods to make each person around me more aware of the choices he or she makes. Is it wrong to believe that the world around me is made of these thoughtless decisions and the only cure to it is a cup of reality and three shots of quality education ?
3. What impact has colonization had on our journey to a sustainable planet ?
When we strip ourselves of history and culture, we become dependent on the flow of consumerism. It's a throw away society. A society modeled after the capitalist giants that to this day still colonize nations through economic means. It's crazy that we forget how much nature sustained the development of our race. We are so focused on this undisciplined pursuit of more that all these crap just covers up what is really important.
How much do we value love, life and liberty ? It's not as much as how we value brandnew Nikes or the latest iPhone ? People line up for hours if not days but how many people in my country line up for civic action or even understand the importance environmental action that is not focused on lip service. A world where more is better and imported is best.

I am agreeing with your thought about sustainable world. It is very important to know what we are doing and what is the impact/outcome /consequence of our actions. Then the decision making process will be easier.
I really like your vision of a sustainable world and I totally agree with you!! Everything we do has a consequence, either good or bad but there is always a consequence and that's why we should always think before doing. Even the smallest thing, the smallest decision matters and to make good decisions we need to be informed, if not, we may not make the best decision even though sometimes we think we are. I believe information is something we can get very easily nowadays and we should take advantage and use the information we have to inform ourselves before making a choice.
