El libro invita a cambiar el rumbo de la humanidad, mostrando al lector los graves problemas a los que se enfrenta la humanidad del siglo XXI y la enorme cantidad de soluciones disponibles. Con la multitud de datos, cifras y citas, el lector encontrara que su paso por el mundo no es neutral, pudiendo ser parte del problema o parte de la solucion. Se resaltan tres pilares de la sostenibilidad: consumir moderada y responsablemente, la justicia global, y denunciar los abusos para poder cambiar la situacion. Se recorren problemas como la superpoblacion y el consumismo, la contaminacion, la economia, la globalizacion, la perdida de biodiversidad, la dependencia energetica, el consumo abusivo de carne, la desigualdad mundial, la discriminacion de la mujer. Se aportan soluciones globales, que un ciudadano corriente solo puede demandar, pero tambien soluciones factibles para cualquier ciudadano que, con este manual, ya no podra decir que no sabe que hacer ante tantos y tan graves problemas.
