Environmental Sustainability : Skills & Strategies
In the modern age, people are not only increasingly more aware of environmental concerns, but they care about the health of the planet on a level never before seen. With the effects of climate change all around, many are taking it upon themselves to enact measures of conservation and sustainability in order to do what they can for the betterment of the planet.
Sustainability encompasses many factors, including using renewable energy sources, water conservation, recycling, reducing waste, saving energy, cutting emissions, and supporting sustainable food sources. But how do these measures protect the environment, and what else can be done on local, national, and international levels? Environmental Sustainability: Skills & Strategies answers these questions and presents a full picture of sustainability measures for anyone who is interested in learning more about this beneficial topic.
Environmental Sustainability: Skills & Strategies includes general background information on sustainability methods, how protecting the environment has positive effects on human society, and what cutting-edge methods may be available in the near future. Articles begin with a brief introduction, followed by full discussion of the topic, and all articles end with a list of reference sources for readers to explore further.
The work begins with a comprehensive introduction that clarifies the scope of the volume in relation to the sustainability practices and goals in the modern era. This is followed by over 150 entries written with the layperson in mind, to help users better understand how sustainability can benefit us all, and what more can be done.
