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. 606 $aBiodiversity conservation 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEnvironmental degradation 606 $aEnvironmental protection 606 $aEnvironmental responsibility 606 $aGlobal warming 606 $aGreen movement 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aPollution 606 $aPower resources 606 $aSustainable living 606 $aWater-supply 606 $aNatural resources$xManagement 606 $aSustainable development$xGovernment policy 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 615 0$aEnvironmental responsibility. 615 0$aGlobal warming. 615 0$aGreen movement. 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aPower resources. 615 0$aSustainable living. 615 0$aWater-supply. 615 0$aNatural resources$xManagement. 615 0$aSustainable development$xGovernment policy. 676 $a333.9516 700 $aWashington$b Haydn$f1955-$01116854 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812973103321 996 $aWhat can I do to help heal the environmental crisis$93953564 997 $aUNINA
