Three topics dominate discussions of the global environment:
pollution; the consequences of the affluent running ever faster
through finite resources; and the growing tensions between rich and
poor as a third of humanity continues to live and die in desperate
poverty. In this exceptional book Barbara Ward (co-author with Rene
Dubos of the bestselling Only One Earth) refused to see these
processes as inevitable. It describes new technologies for
recycling waste, for energy, for ?getting more or less?, linking
them to ordinary people's working lives. It also suggests a
strategy for meeting the basic needs of the disadvantaged, and
shows how the vast inequalities between countries can be reduced.
This perceptive survey of policies outlines a planetary bargain
between the world's nations that would guarantee individual freedom
from poverty and keep our shared biosphere in good working order.
