Achieving real environmental sustainability will require bringing present
environmental impacts within sustainable limits and preventing creation
of new problems. Neither would be sufficient alone; both are necessary.
This book is limited to one aspect of the challenge of bringing impacts
within sustainable limits – better understanding of immediate obstacles
that impede progress on existing problems. As we shall see, the same
obstacles apply to both modest and momentous problems. I focus on the
United States (US) because that is the country I know best. Most of the
obstacles are applicable in similar cultural and political settings elsewhere,
but additional obstacles are important in other circumstances, and some
discussed here, such as resistance to perceived infringements on
individual liberties, would be less important in other cultural settings.
