"Sustainability is the idea that every person takes responsibility for looking after the planet so that future generations will still have a healthy environment, economy and society to live in. No person, group or generation wants to be charged with ecocide which means a crime against nature, humanity and future generations as in a monster oil-spill or destruction of a rainforest. The way to avoid ecocide is to practise sustainability and sustainable development so that the environment, economy and society all flourish together and not at the expense of one another."--Back cover.
