El calentamiento de la Tierra, la deforestación del Amazonas, la retirada progresiva de los grandes glaciares, las mareas negras, etc., son ejemplos de la relación depredadora del hombre con el medio. Cada vez son más las voces que se alzan en todo el mundo para presionar a los respectivos gobiernos contra esa irresponsabilidad, y para demandar un crecimiento sostenible y respetuoso con el entorno. A pesar del avance en la concienciación de la ciudadanía con respecto al medio ambiente, es imprescindible seguir en la brecha para modificar las actitudes de las personas. En este sentido, la escuela tiene también la oportunidad de contribuir a esta concienciación ciudadana. En las páginas de este libro el lector encontrará reflexiones y propuestas interesantes y novedosas (para infantil, primaria y secundaria), que demuestran que es posible e imprescindible trabajar en y desde la escuela por un desarrollo sostenible de la Tierra.

The power of the commons as a free, fair system of provisioning and governance beyond capitalism, socialism, and other -isms. From co-housing and agroecology to fisheries and open-source everything, people around the world are increasingly turning to 'commoning' to emancipate themselves from a predatory market-state system.

Each of us develops and enacts strategies for living our everyday lives. These may confirm the general tendency towards new forms of connected solitude, in which we work, travel and live alone, yet feel sociable mainly by means of technology.

In Politics of the Everyday, Ezio Manzini discusses examples of social innovation that show how, even in these difficult times, a better kind of society is possible. By bringing autonomy and collaboration together, it is possible to develop new forms of design intelligence, for our own good, for the good of the communities we are part of, and for society as a whole.
