WAITING FOR THE SNOW TO FALL

All over the world, humanity is finally coming to an
understanding of the importance of "sustainability".
However, largely, a gap remains in this movement.
What''s missing from this necessary work is social
justice applied to solving the world s environmental
problems. Holistic Sustainable Land-Use Policy will
fill in this gap, and make up for where traditional
environmentalism has failed.
Through a critical examination of a proposed ski
area expansion plan near Flagstaff, Arizona, the
merits of Holistic Sustainable Land-Use policy are
illuminated.
In a case study pitting Native American Tribes and
environmentalists against the US Forest Service and
for-profit business owners, in-depth research yields
facts to show what s going on in this multifaceted
conflict, as well as how this case can provide a
model for sustainable land-use policy to go forward
in the 21st century.
