INVENTING FOR THE SUSTAINABLE PLANET is no ordinary book.

Max Wahlter, a journalist specializing in science and technology, decides to leave his failing career to make money from sustainable technology. He comes across an innovation technique called Imagestreaming and proceeds to create a vision of the sustainable society, publishing the results on his blog.

Follow his blog posts from first steps into the world of sustainability. Max takes us on an inner and outer journey from the annoyingly obvious though the impossibly simple via the inevitable awkward decisions to a deeper understanding of what we all need to do to secure this Earth for coming generations.

You get the opportunity to learn Imagestreaming with Max, and to explore what sustainability might actually look like. You will also experience, though his eyes, how to overcome the barriers that most people see as stopping us living sustainably.

Most of the insights in the book can be found operational already - and the book gives internet links so you can verify for yourself.

We are living at the peak of human achievement, but also at the peak of our resources. Sustainable development means handing over to future generations the possibility to create for themselves a standard of living at least equivalent to that we enjoy. This requires fundamentally re-thinking how we use resources, indeed all of the social arrangements we take for granted. And we need to start now. Ideation, imagining, even fantasizing are tools we can all use in this re-thinking process. The techniques of Imagestreaming, used to create the book, open up endless possibilities to explore our ideal future.
