"The Planet's fever is rising. Many major human activities rapidly destroy the livelihoods of humankind. As a result of global warming as well as air, water and soil pollution and increasing weather extremes, millions of animal and plant species are becoming extinct. Accelerated by terrorism and war, the lives of human beings are put into question. How to combat global warming? Sustainability in the ecological, social and economic spheres is crucial. To achieve sustainable economy, cultural and religious behaviour must change, to save the humanity. Peace, social justice, democracy and ecological economy are the key points. The book by Roy Morrison, Sustainability Sutra elaborates on solutions in economy and society. Sustainable economy comes with zero emission technologies and carbon sinking agriculture. The target must be global cooling, instead of accepting global warming. This stimulates an end of live-endangering toxic emissions from fossil fuels, nuclear energy and chemistry, from toxic pesticide agriculture on the one hand. On the other hand, it enables millions of new jobs and fighting against poverty and hunger, which are the source of conflicts and terrorism. Sustainability Sutra is a great contribution to a discussion on how to stop and reduce the planet's fever."

The Planet’s fever is rising. Many major human activities rapidly destroy the livelihoods of humankind.

“Sustainability is perhaps the greatest challenge we face today as a planetary species, and meditation is one of the rediscovered ways we can achieve the mindset we need to face the challenge. Sustainability Sutra opens this way with eloquent examples and impeccable logic, combining the force of our left hemispheric reason with our right-hemispheric intuition. This book deserves widespread attention by all inhabitants of this unsustainability-threatened planet.” Ervin Laszlo, Philosopher of science, systems theorist, integral theorist, and advocate of quantum consciousness; the author of many books and the founder of the Club of Budapest, the General Evolutionary Research Group, and the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research “Morrison tackles the great challenge of our times: how to transition to what the Chinese call a new era of ‘Ecological Civilization.’ His engaging inquiry could not be more significant: how to change our dominant economic systems and tackle climate change, poverty, oppression, and more. Whatever your stance on economics and finance, this is a valuable view on one of today’s most significant debates. Morrison lucidly points to a wide range of low-hanging fruit that would bring quick and crucial win-wins for both ecology and justice—such as reforms in taxes, subsidies, and incentives, a basic income grant, and basic energy entitlement. This sustainability sutra offers much hope and possibility!” Jennifer Well, Associate Professor, Advance California Institute of Integral Studies “Roy Morrison’s astute observations and broad vision for value-added global transformation will one day become the reigning ideology of the future and to my mind is the only prospect that will secure human and planetary survival.” Steve Hershman, Greater Boston Capital Partners “Roy Morrison’s book is a fine example of work that is at the same time both scientific and popular literature. It raises very relevant issues of ecology and sustainable future that is currently so much concern for all humanity. The topical subject matter and clear presentation of complex issues will surely attract to this book the attention of many readers around the world.” Alexander Chumakov, PhD, Professor in Department of Global Processes at Moscow State University First Vice-President of the Russian Philosophical Society, Chair of Philosophy Department at the Finance University under the Government of the Russian Federation “Human activity has brought the world to the brink of catastrophe. Climate change caused by industry and agriculture is already showing up as rising global temperatures, killer heat waves, extraordinary drought, melting permafrost, ocean acidification, rising sea levels, and mass extinction. The symptoms of anthropogenic climate change in turn worsen poverty, water shortages, famine, disease, and other factors that have already lead to wars and revolutions. Scientists are calling this new geological era, in which our actions are a primary driver of the planetary climate, the Anthropocene. Yet in the face of this self-inflicted disaster, some elites, particularly in the United States, continue to either deny its reality, or behave as if it’s a minor problem. Massive protests by ordinary people—such as the 2014 global climate mobilization that brought more than 400,000 protesters into the streets of New York City—are ignored or ridiculed by powerful economic interests and their hired politicians. But business as usual is a recipe for the end of our civilization, and, quite possibly, our species. We can’t be complacent. We can’t allow the elites to lead us further over the cliff. It’s time for a new paradigm. Roy Morrison’s Sustainability Sutra is an important addition to the conversation about a better way, possibly the only way, for human beings to have a viable future beyond the 21st Century. This is the imperative of ecological civilization.” Dr. Sam Miller, Associate Professor of Meteorology, Plymouth State University “This book lays out a thoughtful and practical approach to economic development—an approach that could actually work. Roy Morrison’s writing is well-researched, clearly written, and provocative. Those who think economic development and care for the environment are incompatible need to read this book.” Professor Michael Swack, Director, Center for Impact Finance Carsey School of Public Policy University of New Hampshire “To me, Roy Morrison is like a prophet. Some 20 years ago, he predicted the coming of an ecological civilization era and the changing process becomes more and more obvious. Many of his predictions, which are stated in this book, are now becoming true in China. His observation and thinking always amaze me!” Ying Xue, Chief Correspondent of Xinhua News Agency Los Angeles Bureau “Morrison has created a masterful work at a moment unprecedented in the history of previously collapsed civilizations. Our democracy demands nothing less than this humbling effort on our parts: to join forces with Morrison in working towards the rational solutions he so evocatively sets before us.” Michael Tobias, PhD, Ecologist, author and filmmaker “This is a very valuable book for each of us who cares for our beautiful planet. It shows that the green can be gold. Sustainable development can benefit both the present and the future. This book is particularly relevant to China who is attempting to walk out a new road by avoid the mistakes the Western modernization made and to pursue a sustainable ecological Civilization for the common good of both humanity and nature.” Zhihe Wang, PhD, Director of the Institute for Postmodern Development of China “Sustainability Sutra delivers a road-map towards a sustainable future for our civilisation; it is a manual for policy makers grappling with the ‘competing’ demands of business and the environment. Whatever your political stance, it is a must-read for anyone who has an interest in the future of the human race and who wants to get involved in the debate. Sustainability is a multi-dimensional and complex concept that can be difficult to pin down in debate and that is over-used in throwaway remarks and sound bites. Sustainability Sutra is one those rare works that creates the necessary context and back drop for an informed debate, in this case, on the future of our planet and hence, our civilisation.” Joe Corbett, Director, Aryton Engineering Dublin
