Today's civilization is threatened by rapid population growth, careless use of resources, and widespread pollution, but there are signs that humanity has begun the transition toward a sustainable society with patterns of living that will be less destructive to the environment. A sustainable society will require major changes in the way people live and work, but many of these changes will be beneficial. The author presents examples of financial incentives and disincentives and regulations which will facilitate the transition. 6 tables.
