What are the roads to sustainability?

I am currently preparing for an education programme on education for sustainable development that will start in 2 weeks.

I just finished reading the first chapter of a book series on spreading sustainability awareness in Germany. It was quite often quoted in the sustainability scene in Germany in 2007: http://www.forum-fuer-verantwortung.de/nachhaltigkeit_b_e.htm

The first book asks the reader “With how much can the earth cope?” In the introduction, 10 questions are being raised that I would simply like to share with you:

What future do we want?
What does global change mean?
Is the situation really that dramatic or do we have time to act?
What are the driving forces behind environmental changes?
Why do industrial countries have to reduce the consumption of resources?
Are technological innovations enough to reduce resource consumption?
Do we have to keep growing economically in order to maintain our living standards?
What is sustainable development?
Isn’t it up to politicians to implement sustainable development?
What can we do?
