Progressive increases in consumer demands along with aggressive industrial consumption led the
world to proximate resource depletion weather changes soil and air degradation and water
quality deterioration. We now know that the paradigm of production at the expense of human
condition is not sustainable. This book briefly explains how we reached this situation and
offers suggestions as to what can be done to overcome it. It invites the best entrepreneurial
talent and scientific and technological know-how to develop a sustainable economy around
sustainable communities services and sectors. A major obstacle previously identified by
involved parties was the ability of accommodating for the emerging economic growth without
causing harm to the environment especially with resource depletion. This book provides the
solution by creating a need to bring on a new revolution that preserves the rights of next
generations to live in a healthy environment This Sustainability Revolution requires the
integration of economic environmental and social factor as well as the practical aspects of
implementing sustainability through green activities which are discussed throughout the book.
In this book a globalization is proposed that encourages creativity and innovation towards
sustainability. With this global sustainability approach (real globalization) both rich and
poor will benefit from the global sustainability approach. This will close the gap between rich
and poor. Developing countries could reap the benefit of current technology without undergoing
many of the growing pains associated with development of these technologies. Governments are
able to better work together towards common goals now that there is an advantage in cooperation
an improved ability to interact and coordinate and a global awareness of issues. The book
presents a sustainability roadmap to bring together various concepts that have been dealt with
independently by previous authors and link them to establish the fundamental practical steps.
The flow path and the direction for successful implementation of a sustainability roadmap are
also discussed in detail in the book. For the first time the authors use sustainable
communities to create a better quality of life for residents while minimizing the use of the
resources to meet current needs and ensure adequate resources for future generations. These
green communities create new industries for the local economy and improve public health which
offers more hope for their citizens. Sustainable transportation renewable energy recycling
clean water and urban forests help to make a more livable community and help to control the
global climate change. They involve all citizens and incorporate local values into
decision-making.
