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.
