This book addresses the social and environmental justice challenge
to live sustainably and well. It considers the consequences of our
social, economic and environmental policy and governance decisions
for this generation and the next. The book tests out ways to
improve representation, accountability and re-generation. It
addresses the need to take into account the ethical implications of
policy and governance decisions in the short, medium and long term
based on testing out the implications for self, other and the
environment. This book recognizes the negative impact that humans
have had on the Earth's ecosystem and recommends a less
anthropocentric way of looking at policies and governance. The
chapters discuss the geologic impact that people have had on the
globe, both positive and negative, and brings awareness to the
anthropocentric interventions that have influenced life on Earth
during the Holocene era. Based on these observations, the authors
discuss original ideas and critical reviews on ways to govern those
who interpret the world in terms of human values and experience,
and to conduct an egalitarian lifestyle. These ideas address the
growing rise in the size of the ecological footprints of some at
the expense of the majority, the growth in unsustainable food
choices and of displaced people, and the need for a new sense of
relationship with nature and other animals, among other issues. The
chapters included in Balancing Individualism and Collectivism:
Social and Environmental Justice encourage readers to challenge the
sustainability agenda of the anthropocentric life. Proposed
solutions to these unsustainable actions include structuralized
interventions and volunteerism through encouragement and education,
with a focus on protecting current and future generations of life
through new governmental etiquette and human cognizance.
