This book develops a supporting structure for sustainable development, following a natural set of steps to reach
an established goal. It provides the tools to navigate this Road to a Better Future by explaining concepts, giving
ideas, proposing methods, and suggesting actions. To illustrate the utilization of techniques there are many examples,
applied to a variety of activities, and to wrap up concepts, the last chapter is dedicated to the analysis of a community
in search of a sustainable environment. A thematic index has been designed to help a person quickly find information
on relevant topics.
