Summary:

This chapterexamines some of the practical ways in which we can work towards achieving a greater degree of sustainability in our social and economic practices. However, ecological principles come to have a practical importance as do ideas and conceptions of sufficiency, innovation and well-being, for without understanding, these tools would be literally meaningless.

It is, therefore, important that we understand what the ideas and concepts refer to and how best to measure or assess the effects of their implementation. However, measurement can take different forms and should not be automatically associated with quantification.Not everything that existed can be weighed or counted.

Homework: 

Review Chapter 7 and preview Chapter 8.
