Seek to heal: the 'Great Work' often key solutions Conclusion - healing our world Ideas for educational exercises IndexThe 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.Biodiversity conservationClimatic changesEnvironmental degradationEnvironmental protectionEnvironmental responsibilityGlobal warmingGreen movementHuman ecologyPollutionPower resourcesSustainable livingWater-supplyNatural resourcesManagementSustainable developmentGovernment policyBiodiversity conservation.Climatic changes.Environmental degradation.Environmental protection.Environmental responsibility.Global warming.Green movement.Human ecology.Pollution.Power resources.Sustainable living.Water-supply.Natural resourcesManagement.Sustainable developmentGovernment policy.333.9516Washington Haydn1955-1116854OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910812973103321What can I do to help heal the environmental crisis3953564UNINA
