Drivers of Change: the Sustainability Imperative (DVD)
L. Hunter Lovins

In this tour-de-force presentation, Hunter Lovins shows that “drivers of change” -- including the global collapse of ecosystems, impending peak oil, climate change and unsustainable population growth -- are gradually forcing governments, corporations and social organizations around the world to completely reinvent themselves in order to meet “the sustainability imperative.” This isn’t a choice, Lovins says; it’s a do-or-die necessity. The good news: there are already plenty of success stories that prove it can be done.
