In the words of leading ecologist Tim Flannery, we have become the ‘future eaters’, living beyond the earth’s ability to replace the resources we consume. An ecological crisis – i.e. climate change – is slowly building. It is now gaining momentum as we witness the melting of the world’s glaciers and a range of related issues including widespread weather volatility, desertification and food shortages. As many now agree, we need a fundamental transformation of how we live and work. The aim of this book is to familiarise students with the theory and practice of sustainability and environmental sustainability at work.
