Description

Life in 2030 is a ground-breaking, practical, and, above all,
positive vision of life in twenty-first-century Canada. As we move into
the next century, the development of sustainable and environmentally
benign patterns of resource utilization and socioeconomic development
is an essential priority. In this book, John Robinson and his
co-authors investigate the possibility and impacts of a sustainable
future for Canada.
