| dc.description | This book should be used in classrooms, read by state and local governmental leaders, and used as a source book for architects, energy engineers, sustainability professionals, planners and journalists. There is a tremendous sustainability crisis—one with international implications—and it is the number one issue confronting us. We must educate ourselves and act before it is too late. The most up-to-date information on this subject is found in this book. There are two approaches we can take. Madonna told her audience during the world-wide coverage of the Live Earth concert in 2007 that you should “jump up and down” to the beat of her music to end global warming. Others said we should change our light bulbs on the front porch. These actions alone will not solve the looming problems we face—reading this book, becoming informed and acting in the political, energy and environmental arenas is far more powerful. The Sustainable Development Handbook provides one of the best assessments of our sustainability crisis and the mitigation actions that need to be taken next. This book needs to be widely read, discussed and debated. It’s an important contribution to the energy and environmental issues that we face. It profiles the steps we must take so that our children can live in a world with a future—a sustainable one that be enjoyed by many generations after us. This book shows how cities, like New York, Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Havana or Venice, can make a difference using a mixture of public and private programs and policies. | - |
