Factfulness Sustainability by Thomas Unnerstall is a book that is succinctly summarized in the subtitle: What you should know about ecological crises and resource consumption. In this book the author offers an x-ray of the condition of our planet and does so with forensic clarity, illustrating how energy consumption, exploitation of natural resources, and raw materials deplete the environment. The author provides essential facts about sustainability issues of our time, allowing readers a better understanding of how human enterprise affects the health of the world. While the author examines some of the urgent climate and environmental issues facing our planet he shows readers how one-sided the mainstream media has been.

Thomas Unnerstall's book is extensively researched, balanced, and deftly offers an objective examination of the current ecological situation. Unlike the hype built around a frustrating, depressing message of the world moving towards a gloomy future, this book highlights some of the developments and steps that can make the future even brighter for humanity. The author writes expertly about the sustainability of the western economic system and way of life, understanding the world population and other basic needs, handling raw materials and energy, and ecological hotspots. Factfulness Sustainability is hugely informative and eye-opening and one of those books that will challenge readers to form independent opinions on controversial issues like climate change and global warming. Unnerstall distills the message in language that is popular and conversational and writes with the simplicity of an expert who knows exactly what he is talking about.
