We've been "saving the planet" for decades now and the crises have
only got worse. Many of us-environmentalists included-continue to
live deeply unsustainable lives. At home, affluent citizens "buy
green"; while at work, they maximise profits with dirty energy and
toxic industries that are poisoning poorer communities. With
brevity, humour and plenty of attitude, Jenny Price tracks "save
the planet" enthusiasm through strategies that range from
ridiculously ineffective (Prius-buying and carbon trading) to
flat-out counterproductive (greenwashing and public subsidies to
greenwash). We need to imagine far better ways to use and inhabit
environments. Why aren't we cleaning up the messes we've already
made? And why do so many people hate environmentalists? Price
offers trailblazing answers, along with powerful ideas for how to
divest from self-destruction and invest in mutual survival.
