In the situation that finds us, the road most travelled is that which we all know best, and which makes us most comfortable. It often is the pathway that brings us to excessive waste, unrecyclable materials and fuels, and arrogant impositions and demands upon communities and surroundings: all in the name of our commodity. We have come to use the word "globalisation" to mean in the minds of many imposing of "my way", because "you are still ignorant of the best way (which is my way, of course)": hence, it is my responsibility, duty and intent "to educate you" to my way. Certainly, this is a rash generalisation, which we will need to address and rectify in the course of this monograph. It nevertheless shines the light unto why, in many instances, the road most travelled is one of unsustainable behaviours, decisions, and actions in the short and long term. By contrast, the road less travelled, actually the road most often not taken , is that which seeks valid, viable and sustainable solutions for the betterment of the individual, local communities, societies, cultures, regions.
