Sustainability: All That Matters by Chris Goodall (9781444174427)

Description - Sustainability: All That Matters by Chris Goodall

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.
