"Basically I was blown away by the information and what some companies were doing now. I learned quite a bit about sustainability and it gave me a better understanding of what I need to do in our own environment. We are going to be more pro-active about reducing our VOC's."
–Director, Cal State Long Beach Print Shop
"I gained insight into the subject that will help me put up a "green strategy."

Agenda for a Sustainable America by John C. Dernbach
This book is a comprehensive assessment of U.S. progress toward sustainable development and a roadmap of necessary next steps toward achieving a sustainable America. Packed with facts, figures, and the well-informed opinions of forty-one experts, it provides an illuminating “snapshot” of sustainability in the United States today. And each of the contributors suggests where we need to go next, recommending three to five specific actions that we should take during the next five to ten years. It thus offers a comprehensive agenda that citizens, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and government leaders and policymakers can use to make decisions today and to plan for the future.
