ABSTRACT
Congratulations! If you are a person interested in practising one planet living, you have just read a manual which I hope has encouraged you to take that first step to change your life and lower your ecological footprint; if you are a policy/planning official or a politician, this manual could help you develop evidence-based policies for living more sustainably aimed at everybody from government down. Together, the author and the other contributors in word and deed have charted the beginning of a long journey and tried to peer into the future to see what it will be like, or what it could be like if everybody was enabled somehow to reduce their ecological effect.
