A thriving life and livable future for our planet starts with you.
Amidst the doom and gloom that dominates the headlines, a different kind of story about an alternative and sustainable future is unfolding. The players are social activists, visionaries, revolutionaries, and cultural innovators, the backdrop is this Anthropocene: the tipping point of our global and environmental challenges, and the narrative is the molding of a new paradigm to shape our collective future, and make environmental change.
The Heart of Sustainability delves into the human dimension of this burgeoning international movement with an aim to become climate activists and build a better world. Author Andrés Edwards frames the conversation about consciousness, activism, innovation, and sustainability by:
- Explaining how self-development is a key driver for environmental planetary change
- Describing how the confluence of the consciousness and technological revolutions provide unique opportunities for balance and fulfillment
- Exploring how we can move forward individually and collectively to create a thriving, livable future from the inside out, during this Anthropocene.
This landmark work illustrates the integration of the four Es: ecology, economy, equity, and education--the bedrock of the current sustainability framework-with the four Cs: conscious, creative, compassionate, and connected. Focusing on specific examples and concrete initiatives from social activists around the world, it shows us how to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and nature in order to tackle the climate change challenges we face as a global community.
