Sustainable Consumption and the Good Life - Bog

Written by an international team of contributors from Scandinavia, Germany, the UK, and the US, this book examines in-depth the relationship between sustainability and the good life. It explores where contemporary visions of the sustainable good life come from; what functions they serve; how they are expressed in current transition processes; and whether a sustainable and satisfying life is possible for all. It frames the eco "crisis" in an optimistic way, showing it to be full of potential for creative unfolding and democratic participation at all levels ¿ personal, community, and societal.
