Transient Caretakers

Mervyn King with Teodorina Lessidrenska

What kind of world would you like your children and your children's children to inherit? Can you help to make life on Earth sustainable?

Everyone on the planet, whether in developed countries or emerging ones, has to ensure that what they do today does not compromise the needs of subsequent generations. None of us is the owner of this Earth. We are all caretakers, and transient at that. As transient caretakers, we can no longer ignore our responsibilities to restore and sustain the planet.

Transient Caretakers is a groundbreaking book that explores the state of the Earth – from climate change to the ongoing water and energy crises, and from issues of waste and garbage to tourism, transportation, urban planning and sustainability reporting. In addition, steps are mapped out for each person to implement changes in the household and garden, as well as to influence the actions of businesses and governments, to ensure that the Earth's assets of land, air and water are passed on to future generations in a sustainable state.

Whilst companies and governments are important agents for change, individuals – in their roles as homeowners, consumers, citizens, voters, investors and shareholders – will be empowered by this book to help make life on Earth sustainable.
