He suggests we move forward from relying solely on individual virtuous action to improve our environment. He argues that the time has come to get 'back to basics': for governments to be decisive and courageous and make positive environmental decisions in the interests of their current and future constituents rather than continue to be locked into short term decision making at the beck and call of corporations and large political donors.BriefingsEnvironmental policyAustraliaEnvironmental protectionAustraliaElectronic books.Environmental policyEnvironmental protection363.700994Wescott Geoff980521MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139355503321Back to basics2269795UNINA
