Book synopsis

Sustainable Development is a much misused term; many think itan oxymoron, other think itis about maintaining currentdevelopments. Despite these abuses, the term still has currency,perhaps because people see it as a guide for surviving the massivegrowth in human population and technologies and the consequentmassive changes to the planet. This book rescues the termSustainable Development by distinguishing Sustainable DevelopmentIdeas from Sustainable Development Actions. It discusses themeaning of both terms and develops a General Technique for applyingSustainable Development Ideas to issues in order to createSustainable Development Actions. The General Technique has apreliminary step followed by 4 tasks. The General Technique is anapproach, or mental model, that allows the lofty ideals withinsustainable development to be scaled down to a level that isappropriate for the individual family or scaled up to deal withissues at a global level. The book uses six projects to illustratethe General Technique and sets out a Stumbling Block Kit on how toidentify and then circumvent problems that may prevent the creationof Sustainable Development Actions.
