About this ebook
Today's generation has borrowed from the future by grabbing prosperity now and imposing the cost on the next generation.
Award-winning writer and campaigner Chris Goodall argues that building a sustainable society is perhaps the greatest test that the world has ever faced.
Here he provides the first coherent new explanation of what sustainability actually is before exploring 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.
This accessible and concise book is a challenging and thought-provoking introduction to sustainability - and what matters most about it.
