Sustainability Sutra addresses the pursuit of sustainability as crucial in the transformation from an industrial to an ecological civilization, exploring in succinct detail how sustainability can be accomplished through an ecological global growth strategy that makes economic growth mean ecological improvement. It is a meditative journey of self-discovery. It is a path and record of a writer's and reader's heart way.  The book includes an Introduction that considers the dynamics of building an ecological future in market economies and examines how the price system can send clear signals for sustainability. Combining ecological consumption taxation, new market rules, fiscal, monetary and investment  can catalyze the trillions of dollars of productive investment in a sustainable future.

Quotes

  • Антон Тhas quoted4 years ago
    The advent of a “Sustainability Generation” is about finding greater balance to empower people to be good critical thinkers and tinkerers capable of building a new economy. This cannot be accomplished through petty political positioning, but instead requires grounded, innovative, and pragmatic approaches to meet the needs of the present by defining and pursuing common priorities and goals. This means short-term action and long-term thinking from all facets of society—young and old, Republican and Democrat, rich and poor.
    Personal, generational and societal accountability is essential as the ideas of the Sustainability Generation become established in our local communities, governments, and economy.
  • Kelly Kullerkupphas quoted4 years ago
    Too often we look to external sources of fault as we reason our way through the chaos. But eventually this is fleeting and destructive. Change begins with us, as consumers, parents, working professionals, and citizens. The gift we have is life in and of itself. What and how we choose to use that gift is our ultimate challenge to reconcile within and among ourselves.
  • Mykola Shaparenkohas quoted3 years ago
    Much the way it takes a village to raise a family, it will take a collaborative global approach to achieve sustainability
