Kitchen Table Sustainability: Practical Recipes for Community Engagement with Sustainability
The First Book in the Trio!
This exciting new book is about community engagement and sustainability: Kitchen Table Sustainability: Practical Recipes for Community Engagement with Sustainability (with Australians Wendy Sarkissian, Steph Vajda and Yollana Shore, Canadian Nancy Hofer and Australian Cathy Wilkinson, now based in Sweden).
The book opens the door so that the theory and practice of sustainability can enter into the experience of the “everyday” and be released from the exclusive provinces of experts: planners, bureaucrats, scientists, intergovernmental panels, roundtables, cabinet tables and board tables.
If communities are the heart and hands of the sustainability movement, community engagement is the life support system that connects the heart and the hands to enable the transition toward global sustainability.
Top-down approaches close the door to ordinary people, who, sitting at their kitchen tables, feel unable to have the informed conversations about sustaining our futures that every household needs to have.
Proposing the EATING model for participatory community engagement, education and development, this book provides both conceptual and practical tools for those working for and with communities who want to build a knowledgeable and truly sustainable society.
The book provides practical recipes to help us transform our community engagement with sustainability.
