| book description |

This book presents a timely perspective thatÂ puts working-class people at the forefront of achieving sustainability. BellÂ argues that environmentalism is a class issue,Â and confrontsÂ some current practice, policy and research that is preventing the attainment of sustainabilityÂ and a healthy environment for all.Â She combines two of the biggest challenges facing humanity: that millions of people around the world still do not have theirÂ social andÂ environmental needs met (includingÂ healthy food, clean water, affordable energy, clean air); and that the earthâ€™s resources have been over-used or misused. Bell explores various solutions to these social and ecological crises and lays out an agenda for simultaneously achieving greater well-being, equality and sustainability.Â The result will be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policy-makers working to achieve environmental and social justice, as well as to students and scholars across social policy, sociology, human geography, and environmental studies.
