BOUND TO THE EARTH explores past and present strategies to create ecological sustainability and provides a model for re-orienting our models of thinking, based on principles of biological ecology, as a prescription for bringing modern society into harmony with nature. After learning to "think like a tree," the book then looks at some possible future scenarios where pioneering individuals take some innovative steps toward ecological thinking and what results these choices may bring. This is a book about to think about ecological balance and planning for a sustainable future filled with suggestions about how to make it happen.
