    About this ebook


    “Sustainability is not a buzz-word anymore; it’s a matter of survival. Meaningful achievement in sustainability will require significant paradigm shifts in attitudes about how we live, how we consume resources, how we govern ourselves and how we transport people and goods.  Asti’s excellent exploration of the issues is a must-read.”
    -- Subrata Basu, AIA, AICP                                                                                                                                       Miami-Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning
     
     
    “Industries, health care, education and others are trying to tread more lightly on our environment.  To achieve sustainability goals our times demand, we must work together to maximize the benefit to our communities.  Asti has always seen the larger picture and encouraged orchestration of diverse initiatives.  The Chicken Came First is full of knowledge, sensitivity, and insights certain to advance the achievement of sustainable communities.”

      When it comes to codas for one’s life there are few as poignant as the one spoken by dying replicant Roy Batty played by the incomparable Rutger Hauer in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire

      What has been your journey to this point in time? Gosh, that's a big question. I grew up in Cornwall, surrounded by nature – either on the beach or a boat with my mum and stepdad or letterboxing on the moor with my dad and stepmum. It was a pretty id
