Synopsis

With Forewords by Anthony Cortese and David Orr Sustainability, as an issue, is dramatically embraced by students at all levels. Students and educators in all disciplines find exciting ways to incorporate sustainability into curriculum and service projects. "The stone age didn t end because of a lack of rocks!" one educator is fond of stating. While there were certainly an abundance of rocks available, Stone Age people moved on to a new era because it became possible for them to envision and create a different and more useful way of organizing life. Many believe that we are currently at a similar juncture and can begin to imagine and construct new ways to live on our planet. Anthony Cortese writes, "Teachers at every level can play an important role in helping us find a sustainable path." Exploring ideas about sustainability is applicable to all disciplines, plus community groups, business and industry. The diverse backgrounds of the authors of this volume provide unique situations in which sustainability is integral.
