Beschreibung
Building a sustainable society is perhaps the greatest test that the world has ever
faced. Prosperity has been created by ruthless and ill-disciplined mining of the world's
resources, compounded by a cavalier disregard for the implications of pollution from
industrial and agricultural processes. Today's generation has borrowed from the future
by grabbing prosperity now and imposing the cost on the next generation.
In this startling and informative book, which will appeal to both students and general
readers, award-winning writer Chris Goodall provides a coherent new explanation of
what sustainability actually is. Goodall then goes onto explore nine key sustainability
challenges, applying the theory of sustainability to look at food, travel, clothing,
electricity, heating and cooling, paper and cardboard, construction, consumer
electronics, and air travel.
