Josef Vavroušek
Josef Vavroušek (born September 15, 1944, in Prague, Czechoslovakia – March 18, 1995, Slovakia) was a Czech environmentalist and politician.
Vavroušek was a co-founder of Civic Forum (1989) and the first minister of the environment of Czechoslovakia (1990–1992). He coordinated (with Bedřich Moldan) the translation of Limits to Growth into Czech.
Josef Vavroušek formulated his "Ten Commandments" of values compatible and incompatible with a sustainable way of life in 1993 and considered it a preliminary proposal. Unfortunately, he tragically died in spring 1995 and so he could not finish it.
