Everyone wants to make the world a better place, but how and where do you start? Leo Tolstoy, a Russian novelist and philosopher, once said, "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing oneself." Moaveni's ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, AND SUSTAINABILITY helps you understand what energy, environment and sustainability issues mean and why they are important to consider. Increasingly, because of worldwide socioeconomic trends, environmental concerns, and earth's finite resources, more is expected of each individual. The book helps students understand the connections among earth's finite resources and the environmental, social, ethical, technical, and economical factors impacted by daily decisions. This book teaches you, regardless of your interests and future career path, how to evaluate these important issues and make environmentally sound decisions.
