After pursuing countless generations of continuous growth, the human species is finally confronted with one of its greatest challenges: how to live sustainably upon the earth. The fact that we have not done so up until now is readily evident – natural resources are running out and being degraded, local environments are experiencing radical climatic changes, and people around the world are dying from starvation and disease. As a result, new models are being sought out in terms of how human should live and be on this planet. Sustainability is the key word, and knowing what it means and how to work towards it is essential. One of the best books to date that I have seen actually explain what sustainability is and how to go about achieving it is The Roadmap to Sustainability.
