Sustainability by Design by John R Ehrenfeld
Challenges conventional understandings of 'solving' environmental problems and offers a radically new set of strategies to attain sustainability. This book identifies problematic cultural attributes, such as the unending consumption that characterizes modern life, and outlines practical steps toward developing sustainability as a mindset.
"'Sustainability by Design, authored by John Ehrenfeld, may be and certainly should be one of the most important books of the 21st century' Janice Pryor, Host of WUMB's, The Commonwealth Journal 'Ehrenfeld presents a unique perspective on the subject of sustainability that needs to be taken seriously by anyone who claims to talk about the subject.' H. Thomas Johnson, Portland State University"
