Linda's book is a rich source of examples of scientists, entrepreneurs and activists applying their talents to find practical solutions to the man-made environmental problems of our time. There are dozens of ideas presented, written from a perspective to which any individual can relate. Linda provides an excellent framework for exploring sustainability from the viewpoint of the individual to the viewpoint of the whole society. Miguel Estrada (Science Instructor, Portland Community College) I think one of the most important aspects of your class that I took home with me was that it's NOT too late to save the planet. In order for me to look through that lens though, it was like turning around a big ship, but once the ship (my point of view) was pointed in the other direction, it started to gain momentum. Thanks for giving me hope. C.G.: a student in the author's sustainability course.
