内容简介

　　Sustainability defines the need for any society to live within the constraints of the land's capacity to deliver all natural resources the society consumes. This book compares the general differences between Native Americans and western world view towards resources， It will provide the 'nuts and bolts' of a sustainability portfolio designed by indigenous peoples.
　　This book introduces the ideas on how to link nature and society to make sustainable choices. To be sustainable， nature and its endowment needs to be linked to human behavior similar to the practices ofindigenous peoples. The main goal of this book is to facilitate thinking about how to change behavior and to integrate culture into thinking and decision-processes.
