In this day and age, it is unfortunate that the economic prosperity
and development leads to disruption of the dynamic balance of the
environment. The philosophy of sustainable development has been
presented for a long period of time but it has not been able to
bring about a substantial change in our society. The transformation
of this philosophy into a practical reality seems to be far away -
at least in the foreseeable future. In my opinion, the only way I
see the revolution taking place is for us to incorporate
'sustainability' in our daily living and to keep pushing for a
sustainable society. Meanwhile, we also need scientists to work on
technologies that would lead us to that goal at a faster pace.
Technologies that are 'completely' environmentally friendly are
needed urgently. And if such technologies or ideas of one exists, a
platform is required that showcases such ideas to the scientific
and non-scientific audience. Through this book, I am happy to
present the thoughts of seven different research groups whose work
may lead us to the doorsteps of sustainable society. As scientists,
most of us specialize in a sub-topic that may be related to one of
the three environmental components - air, land, or water. Over a
period of time, we become so engrossed with the sub-discipline of
our specialization that we only have glimpses of what is happening
in other disciplines.
