More Praise for Acting as if Tomorrow Matters:

Accelerating the Transition to Sustainability

Acting as if Tomorrow Matters offers a sweeping review of America’s sustainability journey, tracking progress—and slippage—across a wide range of critical issues over the past 20 years. Even more powerfully, it charts a course toward a truly sustainable future, highlighting the advances in law, governance, incentives, education, and political mobilization that will be required.

From Rio '92 to Rio '12: America's pledge to achieve sustainability has been honored too often in the breach. The reasons for both failures and successes are many and complex, as are the tasks ahead. Acting as if Tomorrow Matters offers redemption and a vision of success.

—Paul R. Ehrlich
