The fight for a better future requires radical change and cooperation between governments, NGOs, investors and businesses, as well as exponential technological innovation and new perspectives - in other words, nothing less than a miracle. Increasingly, this miracle is being made possible by leaders of all generations who have found the courage to act. This book presents cases of sustainability, from small start-ups to large corporations, but above all it tells the stories of extraordinary women who have decided to dedicate their time and personal resources to saving the world. By embracing change, they have created value for all stakeholders at the table, including the planet we inhabit. Their stories demonstrate that this is not a battle we will win once and for all, but rather a journey in which we will evolve the way we access and use the resources around us. This project approaches the sustainability challenge from a unique perspective, offering real-life examples of the leadership and impact of remarkable women who are changing the rules of the game in their respective industries and fields.

The world has witnessed extraordinary economic growth, poverty reduction and increased life expectancy and population since the end of WWII, but it has occurred at the expense of undermining life support systems on Earth and subjecting future generations to the real risk of destabilising the planet. This timely book exposes and explores this colossal environmental cost and the dangerous position the world is now in. Standing up for a Sustainable World is written by and about key individuals who have not only understood the threats to our planet, but also become witness to them and confronted them.

On April 22, 1970, an estimated twenty million people held in a teach-in to show their support for environmental protections. This new celebration, Earth Day, brought together previously fragmented issues under the same banner. It was the largest nationwide event ever, and lawmakers took notice. But one day didn't change everything. Fifty years after the first Earth Day, climate change remains a dire concern. The divide between political parties continues to widen, and environmental policy has become an increasingly partisan issue. The spread of disinformation has also made climate change a debatable idea, rather than scientific fact. A new generation of advocates continue the fight to make environmental policy a top priority for the United States and for nations around the globe. "Our goal is an environment of decency, quality, and mutual respect for all human beings and all other living creatures . . . Our goal is a decent environment in its broadest, deepest sense."—Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day founder "[T]he potential consequences are certainly major in their impact on mankind. Now is the time. The research is clear. It is up to us now to summon the political will."—Robert Walker, US Representative from Pennsylvania "There's always a perception that business and industry and conservation groups . . . don't agree on anything. . . . [W]e can come together to demonstrate that we might be looking at it from different sides, but the outcome is the same."—Doug Miell, consultant, Georgia Chamber of Commerce

If you've been paying attention, you might be sensing our world is in trouble. But changes in climate, worry about the extinction of species, our treatment of sentient animals, the safety of our food and health care--so many environmental problems can leave us feeling overwhelmed, powerless and just wanting to pull the covers over our collective heads. But if you'd like a reason to get out of bed and help find some solutions, we can offer 101 of them. Never in history has there been a more collective environmental consciousness, working towards the betterment of the world. As our planet is stripped of her resources, people are standing up, taking action and creating positive change. It's time we all heard about it.We asked 101 people of influence--environmentalists, conservationists, artists, writers, thought leaders, activists, and everyday heroes, who are passionate about the planet and the creatures we share it with--three simple questions. * What environmental issue gets you out of bed in the morning?* What are you doing about it?* What can everyone do about it?Scientist Jane Goodall and filmmaker Louis Psihoyos, business innovators Rick Ridgeway and Richard Branson, global economist John Hewson, and Garbage singer Shirley Manson, add their voices to nearly one hundred others, encouraging us to find our 'one thing' and commit to move ourselves and our communities toward the brightest possibilities for the future.Open this book at any page and you'll meet someone new, doing great things in their world, taking on environmental issues with practical solutions. It shows how little things turn into habits, get shared, and then make big impacts. Our contributions can make a difference. We don't have to settle for what now passes as 'normal'; we can all take small steps to shift the health of our planet. We can all drive social change and demand accountability by those who run 'business as usual'. 101 Reasons... is a roadmap of positive, simple steps that can turn everyday people into global heroes. Join us. Together we can make a difference for our one planet.

Durf isn't dead. Brianna's Call is back.It's all happening again, but nothing is the same. The world is populated by minotaurs and it's all happening at the World Series. Finding Durf alive, Billy is transported to an alternate world where he finds Durf inhabiting a female baseball player named Billie. Trying to get to Brianna's call, and thinking that he went back in time, Durf didn't realize that Billie wasn't Billy and that the World Series wasn't the Super Bowl or even that Billie was a girl and not a guy. Making matters worse, Brianna's Call is being chased by a fleet of ships trying to figure out a way to use the magic. Unfortunately, they accidentally transformed it solid and now it's about to crash into the Earth. While trying to transform it back, Billy and the others are forced to confront Durfs from this planet, weapons left behind by the Norse Gods, and alien wizards all while pretending to be female baseball players.
