The author blends solid science with a recognition that even small individual actions are available and beneficial. Our current path isn't necessarily our fate. Ample tested tools and methods already exist. The author reviews and links to all of these, encouraging readers to find simple and do-able shifts in behavior that don't feel onerous. Chapters look at the restoration of natural ecosystems, changing our use of water, our food and agricultural choices, our built environment, and our commitments to healthy communities. The book's Table of Contents, and this edition's comprehensive index, allow readers to dip into the text quickly for information, resources and inspiration.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Linda's book is a rich source of examples of scientists, entrepreneurs and activists applying their talents to find practical solutions to the man-made environmental problems of our time. There are dozens of ideas presented, written from a perspective to which any individual can relate. Linda provides an excellent framework for exploring sustainability from the viewpoint of the individual to the viewpoint of the whole society." Miguel Estrada (Science Instructor, Portland Community College) "I think one of the most important aspects of your class that I took home with me was that it's NOT too late to save the planet. In order for me to look through that lens though, it was like turning around a big ship, but once the ship (my point of view) was pointed in the other direction, it started to gain momentum. Thanks for giving me hope." C.G.: a student in the author's sustainability course.<br>
