Chapter 1: Introduction

A increasing number of Americans are starting to marvel why Europe has leaped before the U.S. to become the most environmentally sophisticated political space in the world today. To realise why Europe has left America behind in the rush to conceive a sustainable society, we require to gaze at the very distinct dreams that distinuish the American and European border of mind.
