While the principles and environmental goals we must reach are well understood, if we are to move toward sustainable development, then corporations and governments will need a coherent set of tools with which to manage the behavior of humans and their institutions more effectively.Tools for Environmental Management answers this need by providing, for the first time, an overview of Environmental Management Systems as a whole, and a set of 22 environmental management tools that can be applied on local, national and international scales. The linked set of tools includes:Environmental policies, audits, indicators, and site assessmentsAccounting practices and economic instrumentsLife cycle, product, and technology assessmentPurchasing guidelines and economic instrumentsRisk and ecological management.Each tool is described in terms of its definition, history, legal requirements or standards, and how it is applied. Examples are provided, along with newsletters, journals, references and web sites so that those using the tools can keep up to date.Marketing Plans:Advertising in professional environment journalsReview mailing to professional environmental management journalsDirect mail campaign to members of environmental management associations; local, state and federal government environment officials; international agenciesCourse adoption campaignThe book is coauthored by 16 specialists who combine academic and professional practice expertise, and who work at entities ranging from Microsoft to resource industries in Kazakhstan.
