Sustainability at Work Summary

Sustainability at Work: Careers that make a difference by Marilyn Waite (Consultant, USA)

Sustainability at Work is a compelling guide for everyone who wants to have both a successful career and a career that makes a positive difference in society.

Containing career advice of great value to students of sustainability, and explaining how they can apply their knowledge to their future careers, its appeal extends well beyond the classroom. Sustainability at Work includes an easy-to-follow framework that anyone wondering how they can make a sustainable difference in the workplace can apply.

Professionals from a variety of backgrounds and territories explain how they brought a sustainability approach to various sectors: agriculture, health care, business, economics, and financial services, education and research, law and policy, science and technology, and entertainment and media.

Through inspiring narratives and a structured framework, Sustainability at Work illustrates how sustainability can be incorporated into every imaginable career to impact the quadruple bottom line: environment, economy, society, and future generations.

Future teachers need to understand their responsibility to this and future generations. Waite's text inspires teacher educators to incorporate information about sustainability and the many ways of thinking about it into courses and field experiences so that tomorrow's teachers can create ripples of interest and action across the SURF Framework.

Carole Wylie Hancock, Marietta College, USA

As an educator, frequent traveller, and concerned environmentalist, I found Marilyn Waite's book compelling. Her description of potential roles for educators provides guidelines to be more aware consumers and how to teach and model for students how to implement principles of sustainability. Her tips on pursuing a career with a sustainability attitude are timely!
Martha C. Hougen, The University of Florida, USA
