About

This book documents the journeys of ten people from the Sunshine Coast region who have maintained a dedication towards sustainability over a considerable period. Their stories are not without frustration, but all reflect a positive outlook and faith in the human condition to respond to the sustainability challenge. Their insights will inform anyone who feels that more can be done, and highlights that the efforts of the individual can make a difference. These people live within the Sunshine Coast community and their efforts go largely unheralded. This book partly acknowledges their efforts, but more importantly seeks to continue their work by inspiring others to follow their lead in their own way and individual capacities.
