Sustainability Made Simple Review
Sustainability Made Simple is an introduction to sustainability and sustainable living. It explores the relationship between everyday life and the intricate global environmental issues of today, including air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change.
Rosaly Byrd and Lauren DeMates offer an optimistic yet realistic perspective on our impact on the environment. They give much-needed guidance to those who are interested in finding new and relatively easy ways to incorporate sustainability into daily life.
An excellent resource for those who are interested in learning what sustainability is about and picking up habits to be more sustainable, Sustainability Made Simple shows that adopting a sustainable lifestyle. It doesn’t require going off the grid or making drastic life changes that take time and cost money.
Instead, Byrd and DeMates focus on the advantages and transformative changes associated with sustainability. They demonstrate that although society is facing unprecedented environmental challenges, working towards sustainability is an opportunity to do things differently and do things better, enhancing aspects of life, such as health, work, and community.
