I was extremely pleased to see that Professor Randall Curren, Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department, recently published a book “Living Well Now and in the future, Why Sustainability Matters”. The book was co-written by Professor of Geology and Director of Science Education at San Jose State University and Co-director of the Bay Area Environmental STEM Institute, Ellen Metzger. We all understand, in our hearts, that sustainability matters. The book lays out the nature and value of sustainability and identifies the kinds of efforts that will be needed to overcome the issues.
I look forward to reading the book and gaining a better understanding of obstacles to sustainability and how to overcome them.
