第1-5章。We Can Work Together to Solve Enviromental Problems。第二段

Solutions to environmental problems are not black and white, but rather all shades of gray because proponents of all sides of these issues have some legitimate and useful insights.

解決環境問題並不是黑白分明的，反而是處於灰色地帶的，因為在這議題的支持者這邊有的是合情合理且有用的看法。

This means that citizens can strive to build social capital by finding trade-off solutions to environmental problems－an important theme of this book.

這就表示市民們可以藉由發現並交換環境問題的解答而努力去創造社會資本，這在本書是一個重要的議題。

They can also try to agree on shared visions of the future and work together to develop strategies for implementing such visions beginning at the local level,such as citizens of Chattanooga, Tennessee(USA), have done.

他們也能努力認同並分享對未來的看法而且ㄧ起努力並發展出能實施這些看法且是以基礎為開始的策略，就像事已經做了的查怒特加市和田納西州的市民ㄧ樣。
