The challenge of sustainability at the end of the first decade of the third millennium of the Common Era is still the one that his metaphor captured. How do we devise strategies for society that will allow a peaceful, equitable, fulfilled human future: a humane future for a diverse earth? People are having an unprecedented impact on the planet through the expansion of industrial capacity, and the urbanization and socio-cultural changes that accompany it. Indeed, geologists now propose that this should be regarded as a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. Surviving it will be quite a challenge. To do so, will require a rapid and effective transition to sustainability. A transition to sustainability may be necessary, but is it possible? It will certainly not be easy. This paper considers what the environmental movement can do to help make it happen: a transition to a world that sustains abundant, diverse and worthwhile life, human and otherwise, and does so humanely."
