Ever since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring was published a half
century ago, environmentalists have warned of the many perils of
chemicalized farming practices. The need for global stewardship has
never seemed more pressing. This book highlights the ways our
health is inextricably linked to modern methods of food production
as well as lawn and garden care. The widespread use of toxic
petrochemicals on rural and suburban landscapes has contributed to
ever-increasing rates of degenerative disease. Beyond describing
the threats posed by these ubiquitous chemicals, the book explains
in clear and cogent terms how to turn this situation around. To
save the planet and ourselves, we need to change the way we relate
to the natural world, begining with our own backyards and
gardens.This book provides a practical prescription for reclaiming
our health and stabilizing our global climate system through
innovative, earth-friendly strategies -- and offers hope for future
generations.
