O knihe
Reuniting Ecology and Economy is part of a series on the various aspects of sustainable development, where "community" focuses on the primacy and quality of relationships among people sharing a particular place and between people and their environment. "Development" means personal and social transformation to a higher level of consciousness and a greater responsibility of citizens to each other, and "sustainability" is the act whereby one generation preserves and enhances options by passing them to the next generation. The vision put forth in this book is one of melding ecology and economy into a unifying concept of social-environmental sustainability. The authors suggest that dividing ecology and economy conceptually will destroy society as we know it. Our task as adults is to repair the environment for the children who must inherit it. The immense potential of the link between economics and ecology to influence the process of change within communities is the focus of this book. The authors theorize that in a healthy, future-oriented community there must be a dominant role for sustainability. There have been volumes written on economics, ecology, community and sustainability but very little written on their environmental connections. TOC:Origins of Sustainability.- Economics From the Ground Up.- Visioning, Counting and Valuing. Recognizing the Growth Ethic in Your Community.- Recycling in Theory and Practice.- Toward Practical Use of Sustainability.- Globilization and Sustainability.
