		<description>This is a real problem, because sustainability is so complicated that the language needs to be consistent and simple. We already know that corporate suffer from very low levels of trust, yet theyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re a massive part of the solution. 

On the flip side of it though, the language of sustainability itself isn&#039;t very accessible, so communicators need to work hard to identify language that works. We&#039;ve been doing a bit of quick and dirty, soon to be launched, research to find out what terms resonate with the public. For example, the term &#039;eco-safe driving&#039; is quite common in the sustainability community, but our focus group laughed at it. the term &#039;savvy driving&#039; however got a really warm reception. It&#039;s a complementary and flattering term, as one participant said &quot;Savvy is about being smart&quot;.</description>
