Book excerpt: Aldo Leopold in his legendary book, SAND COUNTY ALMANAC, literally, called for REVOLT- "revolt against the tedium of the merely economic attitude towards the land". It has come to the point where the "land" as Aldo called this planet's earth living presence - whether land, water, or air - needs to be understood, appreciated, AND paid attention to. We are at that critical point where this economic attitude will destroy the existence of the ecological community systems that supports all life.This book of short essays is about this necessary REVOLT. It is about the history of what man has done with the land ? with nature and our natural resources since Leopold's writings. Part 1 gives examples of the capabilities and value to spirit and thought of being on the land in each season. Part 2 describes the misdeeds that a mere economic attitude has done and continues to do to the land and the plight of our planet if it continues. Part 3 defines, simply, what it will take to change man's destruction and move to a sustainable planet earth. This book is about a revolution and uprising that must occur to save us from ourselves. It needs to be understood, appreciated, AND paid attention to. We are at that critical point where this economic attitude will destroy the existence of the ecological community systems that supports all life.These essays help you ask yourself questions about what you can do locally and nationally to reduce our impact on our planet earth.

Download or read book The Big Fix written by Hal Harvey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “smart, honest, and down-to-earth” (Elizabeth Kolbert) citizen’s guide to the seven urgent changes that will really make a difference for our climate. If you think the only thing you can do to combat climate change is to install a smart thermostat or cook plant-based meat, you’re thinking too small. In The Big Fix, energy policy advisor Hal Harvey and longtime New York Times reporter Justin Gillis offer a new, hopeful way to engage with one of the greatest problems of our age. Writing in a lively, accessible style, the pair illuminate how the really big decisions that affect our climate get made—whether by the most obscure public utilities commissions or in the lofty halls of state capitols—and reveal how each of us can influence these decisions to deliver change. The pair focus on the seven areas of our political economy where ambitious but practical changes will have the greatest effect: from what kind of power plants to build to how much insulation new houses require to how efficient cars must be before they’re allowed on the road. Equal parts pragmatic and inspiring—and “full of illustrative stories and compelling evidence” (Al Gore)—The Big Fix provides an action plan for anyone serious about holding our governments accountable and saving our threatened planet.
