The Natural Step for Communities

Sustainability might seem like one more buzzword, and cities and towns like the last place to change, but this book provides inspiring examples of communities that have made dramatic chjanges towards sustainability, and explains how others can emulate their success. The book first clarifies the concept of sustainability, offering guiding principles that help identify sustanable action in any area. It then introduces the sixty-plus eco-municipalities of Sweden thathave adopted changes to sustainable practices throughout municipal policies and operations. The third section explains how they did it, and outlines how other communities in North America and elsewhere can do the same.
