An increasing global population, combined with the constant desire for economic growth, is putting unrelenting demands on Earth’s natural resources. These demands, ranging from agricultural production and timber harvesting to increased use of energy, metals, and other minerals, cannot be sustained indefinitely. In some cases, these demands degrade the resources and critical ecological systems on which we depend. To conserve Earth’s resources for future generations, we must find a more equitable and sustainable balance between economic growth and resource conservation. Toward that end, societies and institutions have begun to take steps toward sustainable and regenerative management. This book presents real-life stories about efforts large and small to use resources more wisely and profitably for a better world.Introduction
