This book would not be possible without the help of Andy Lemons and Paula Appling. They both contributed so greatly in the writing, editing, and publishing process. Chelsea Crosby Bunn provided the beautiful icons depicting the 7 layers of sustainable in which all 71 solutions fit. And a huge thank you to David Coombs for the lovely forward, Alexandra Fleit for inspiring the questions, and Randall Davis for assisting with the quotations at the beginning of the chapters.
