The key points in the introductory chapter are:

* Sustainability is an all or nothing issue. Either something is sustainable - it will be replenished as it is used - or it is unsustainable - it consumes the environment. This is of relevance both for us as individuals but also for companies. “We are more sustainable” as a company should be”we are a sustainable company”. It’s a useful concept.

* The carbon footprint of the majority of people in the world is close to or below a sustainable level. That is, most individuals only need make a small change for their impact to be within climate tolerable levels. The problem is that a minority are creating massive carbon footprints, hence why the rest of us must hold them to account - either by voting or being conscious of where we spend our money.
