Description

Exploring a variety of topics ranging from communities to buildings to product design, this book explains, for the first time, how the sustainable design field is influenced by women and women's ways of working. In addition to gathering input from a cross-section of individuals involved in environmental and sustainability issues, the authors surveyed a broad range of literature, reviewed a number of studies and compared statistics from various organisations. What they discovered is a real need in all of us to find more balanced ways of working and living.

Women in Green explains the often overlooked roles women have played as key catalysts in sustainability. The book will help women and men understand the limitations of business as usual and suggest different approaches to solving today's complex problems. The partnership of Gould and Hosey, both leaders in the sustainable design movement, reflects the views and lessons of the book, which emphasises community and collaboration.
