Chapter Overview

This final chapter addresses the question: So what can we do about all these matters? Some people are inclined to take a very active lifelong role in all this by making a career of some aspect of environmental protection. Others make significant contributions of time and money to the environmental movement. Others order their personal lives to reduce their own impacts on the environment. Hopefully, few will fail to recognize the key role individuals play both in creating the problems and in solving them.

This chapter is about options for changing the way we collectively conduct our affairs so as to create a sustaining and prosperous future.
