False advertising - I would suggest not ordering it from Amazon. | Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century | Customer Rating: | | This book is absolutely amazing and lifechanging because of all the important information that is in this book. You just have no idea how bad we treat the world and how close we are to destroying our lives all so we can have selfish comforts on a daily basis. | Environmentalism for those who confuse computer desktop themes with nature | Customer Rating: | | A nonsensical belief that we can solve the environmental crisis by avoiding self change. Never in our history have their been a more deluded and narcissistic generation clambering to take the helm. We're in serious trouble. | A Companion to the Website | Customer Rating: | | A practical comprehensive compendium of the types of practices we will need to nourish if we are to live in a Bright Green sustainable and just future. More a catalog than an essay, it is divided into sections such as Stuff, Shelter, Cities, Community, Business, Politics and Planet, giving examples of sustainable work being done in each area as well as references to relevant books and web sites. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for well-designed technologies to improve the lot of all human beings. The book is basically a collection of the types of things you will find at the [...] website. | Only we can change how things are | Customer Rating: | This is a great book that makes us all more aware of the situation we find ourselves in presently aboard spaceship earth. We simply can not conduct business the way that we have in the past. The earth is not a business in liquidation. The green trends that are occuring now and that are gaining momentum are fascinating. This is a global book with a global focus, we are all in this together. How much time is needed? Who can know for sure but the sooner we all start, the better. |
