Reviews

[Trey J Hunt]

It is more like a history book

[Bob]

Not a book you want to read cover to cover but a really great resource for people who want to help their communities become more sustainable. Includes of lots of real-life examples of tools and initiatives that have been used by citizens and their governments to implement more sustainable practices.

[Sacha]

Easy read on defnining what it means to be a sustainable community with emphasis on the critical element of public deliberation. Excellent resource, especially since it gives specific examples and tools for implementing steps.

[Georgia]

Reads almost like a philosophy book. An interesting (and helpful) view of a new - or at the very least - forgotten and/or ignored way of thinking.
