Are you concerned about the state of our planet and hope that governments and corporations will find a sustainable way for us to live? If you do not think about it too hard, that may work, but will it? Left on their own, with drivers of popularity and profits, I am not too convinced that it will.
This leads to the key question. Are we doing enough? I believe that the answer to this question is no and that our best hope is for each of us to vote smart, lobby hard, stay informed, and to act. This book primarily focuses on the last part, the actions that each of us can take.
While environmental aspects are key areas of concern, sustainability goes beyond controlling our consumption and pollution. There are key social, political, and economic areas that need to be addressed as well, and there are several steps that individuals can take to help in all of these areas.
For those of you who feel we could do more, this book is for you and is loaded with actionable activities, the reasons for doing them, and explores why we are not doing them already.
My review
I received a digital copy of this book and as most of you know, ebooks and I have a difficult relationship. I’m currently under the weather bost mentally and physically, so I can’t really focus on screens properly or for long. So, since this is a large file, I’ve read chapters from different parts of the book to get an overview.
This book seems to be a reasonable discussion of sustainability and what individuals can do. It is easy to read and digest for the non-specialist and illustrated with graphs and images to help explicate the discussion.
