A Greener Path

 So how does this book and the principles it is presenting tie in to 'A Greener Path' as my BLOG is titled. As I referred to in a previous post, this book is also part of the curriculum in my Intro to Recycling and Resource Management class. We are studying sustainability. Sustainability as a value in today's world as opposed to our consumeristic values which are increasing damaging the earth and using up it's resources. As humans sharing the environment with the rest of life on our planet we need to make significant changes in the way we live before we destroy the environment and all that lives within it. We have studied in this college course how a large portion of the world's population has lifestyles which have evolved to become enthralled in consumerism. We need to make some significant changes in our culture. We need to make some difficult economic, political, social, and educational choices and changes while we still might have the opportunity to do so. We need to change the way we as humans think about this very important issue and do something about it. We need to influence and change people's values such that sustaining the earth's environment and resources becomes of utmost importance. Dale Carnegie's book therefore can provide us with the personal skills we will need to promote this change, a change towards A Greener Path.
