★ここまで英語の勉強と美術の勉強を兼ねて、主に英語の美術書を読んだり、NHKの英語テキストを使った勉強を進めてきた。ネタ切れ的なこともあって、次の英語で勉強することをあれこれ考えているときに、SDGsについて勉強するのもいいかなと思い、始めることにした。SDGsのロゴ使用は非商業利用であれば許諾不要であることを確認済なので、これから前文、17のゴールについて、ロゴも使用しながら勉強のメモを残していきたい。
◎Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
12.1 Implement the 10-year framework of programs on sustainable consumption and production, all countries taking action, with developed countries taking the lead, taking into account the development and capabilities of developing countries

◎12番目のゴールは、食品廃棄の半減など、持続可能な生産と消費に関する目標。SDGs、サステナブルというキーワードで最も関心を集めているのはこのゴールともいえる。先日、NHKの番組で、その”エコ”は本当に”エコ”なのか？という問題定義がされていた。エコバッグをいくつも持っていて、数回しか使わなければ、レジブクロを使い捨てたほうが環境負荷は小さいのでは？とか、小さいプラスティック製品まで、水と洗剤で丁寧に洗ってリサイクルにまわすと、かえってCO2排出量の総量は増えてしまうなど、なんとなく雰囲気で取り組むことのリスクもそろそろ考えませんか？という内容だった。海洋ごみにはならないかたちであれば、汚れたプラスティック製品は廃棄したほうが環境にやさしいなど、新たな気づきがあった。単純にプラ→木製ということでも無いというものもあり、しっかり精査が必要になってくる。
