Agenda for a Sustainable America
Sustainable development holds enormous promise for improving the quality of life for Americans over the coming decades. Agenda for a Sustainable Americadescribes what we need to do to make the promise a reality. It assesses trends in 28 separate areas of American life—including forestry; transportation; oceans and estuaries; religion; and state, local, and national governance. Packed with facts, figures, and the well-informed opinions of 41 experts, Agenda provides an illuminating “snapshot” of sustainability in the United States today. In every area, contributors reveal what sustainable development could mean, with suggestions that are specific, desirable, and achievable. Their expert recommendations point the way toward greater economic and social well-being, increased security, and environmental protection and restoration for current and future generations of Americans. And each of the contributors recommends three to five specific actions that we should take during the next five to ten years.
