摘要

The contemporary interdisciplinary scientific research findings show how environmental degradation is at the top of the list of major global social problems, consequently interrelating to the others and deepening them even further. A profound transformation is urgently needed, and the questions are does humanity have ideas, tools, capacities, and a will to embark on that transitional path. Numerous cross-cultural, inter-institutional, stakeholder qualitative and quantitative approaches throughout the literature research have been looked at in this chapter analysis, and the synthesis was made aiming to present the multi-layered cause and effect relation in achieving sustainability. Special attention is given to existing practical philosophies that are materialized in bottom-up actions, and an analysis of studies and research that describe examples of good practice of groups of individuals with the greatest potential for the transformation of society toward sustainability is made. What are the solutions we can offer to the world? Are there any traces of the new environmental horizons? Those equilibriums do exist, and the path-finder algorithms are already forged. We are to listen to the echoes and return to grasp how we have borrowed our Earth’s environment from our children, not inherited it from our ancestors. Detached from greed, overconsumption, and competitiveness, it is the final countdown for humankind to show its humanity.
