Tikopia lies in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. A tiny island formed of an extinct volcano, it’s just five square kilometers in size. It was inhabited by the Polynesians roughly a thousand years ago, along with other pacific islands such as Easter Island and Mangareva.
Setting a boundary on business profitability would be a good start! I am trying to think through whether any business with an aim to generate profit can be truly sustainable? Coming to the conclusion that non-profit businesses may be the only ones that could actually be ‘sustainable’ - although not all non-profits will be. That means moving away from a capitalist economic and political model to one that has a far stronger focus on social and environmental ethics.

This is great food for thought John. Thank you!
