Sustainability by Stuart W. Rose, Ph.D. illustrates the benefits of sustainable living, based on experiences from a successful sustainable housing project 
POQUOSON, VA, February 12, 2010 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Sustainability: A Personal Journey to a Built Sustainable Community...and an Amazing Picture of What Life Will Soon be Like by Stuart W. Rose, Ph.D. offers guidance on how and why to live sustainably. He strives to show a way to reduce the depletion of Earth's natural resources and strives to predict global changes which could occur in the next few years. Rose hopes that Sustainability will help suppress the fears connected to living on Earth's natural resources by sharing how sustainability has worked in an actual housing development. "The book is different because it's built on the actual experience of creating ‘Net Zero’ sustainable housing," says Rose. "I also feel it relies on a broader base of research than other books. I want to take sustainability considerations further." Along with his business partner, Rose has built a small sustainable community of homes that are designed to provide 100 percent of the heating, cooling, power, water and improved air quality with what comes naturally to the home site. According to Rose, another benefit of the homes is the use of materials that do no harm to and take nothing away from the earth's resources. Sustainability works to describe an eco-friendly way of life through the example of the housing project and strives to show the financial benefits that come with lower utility bills. "My goal in writing this is to provide a real, practical and positive picture of what we can do to make it through the coming transition - and realize a fantastic new way of living," says Rose.
