In Brian Tilt’s book, The Struggle for Sustainability in Rural China: Environmental Values and Civil Society, he addresses the topic of attitudes and issues associated with sustainable development in China. Based on the contents of this work, sustainable development refers to preserving nature, people’s way of life and their community. The majority of this book is focused on the effects of pollution on the environment and how to affects people’s ability to live a sustainable lifestyle by these standards. This book addresses two main assumptions that tend to be made when considering why China has had difficulties with reducing their level of pollution. The first assumption is that people in China do not care about pollution because they are too focused on the need for economic development. The second assumption is that even if Chinese citizens did care about pollution, they would not be able to prevent it due to powerful central government that makes economic grow th its top priority.This work disproves parts of these assumptions by showing that people do care about pollution and that they have taken some actions to try and change the current situation. One of the assumptions that this book addresses is whether or not people in China care about their environment. The people involved in this case study were all concerned about the environment to varying extents. Many people interviewed for this study were being directly impacted by excessive pollution in their environment.
