Sustainable living: What should we write about in 2014? - open thread

What aspects of sustainable living do you want to read about this year? Should we track some of the the 'iconic' sustainability issues - plastic bags, vegetarianism, recycling. Or are you more interested in the big overarching questions about how we change global human behaviour? Tell us about the changes you're making, and the ideas or issues you want us to write about this year.

As 2013's most-read articles show, we explored and you debated and shared articles on the challenge of tackling over-consumption. In 2014 we'll continue to seek interesting voices, examples and angles that explore one of the main challenges at the heart of sustainability. How can we balance daily consumption through large lifestyle and small habitual choices? And how can brands, business and policies help us do this through technology, communications, product and service design?

Or do you think we need to take discussions to a different level, "cease our dangerous obsession with 'sustainability'", and look more deeply at our disconnection with the planet and its problems? Our new Behavioural Insights blog saw a strong reaction after launching in December so we'll develop these themes there. We'd love to hear what behaviours or philosophies you'd like to see explored.

And on a personal level, are you trying to make a sustainable lifestyle change yourself? What's led you to make the change? Let us know if there's any expert advice you seek on sticking to your new way of living.

What lies ahead for sustainable living, and how do you want to see us discuss it?

Let us know your thoughts by posting a comment below, tweeting us @GuardianSustBiz or dropping us an email. We'll take your input on board and look to incorporate it within our coverage on the hub.
