The culmination of over three decades of writing by environmental
scientist and writer Haydn Washington, this book examines the
global environmental crisis and its solutions. Many of us know that
something is wrong with our world, that it is wounded. At the same
time, we often don't know why things have gone wrong - or what can
be done. Framing the discussion around three central predicaments -
the ecological, the social, and the economic - Washington provides
background as to why each of these are in crisis and presents steps
that individuals can personally take to heal the world. Urging the
reader to accept the reality of our problems, he explores practical
solutions for change such as the transition to renewable energy,
rejection of climate denial and the championing of appropriate
technology, as well as a readjustment in ethical approaches. The
book also contains 19 'solution boxes' by distinguished
environmental scholars. With a focus on positive, personal
solutions, this book is an essential read for students and scholars
of environmental science and environmental philosophy, and for all
those keen to heal the world and contribute towards a sustainable
future.
