Embracing Limits: A Radical And Necessary Approach To The Environmental Crisis

Numerous environmental problems now threaten industrial civilization. Climate change is the best known, but more wait in the wings: peak oil, mass extinctions, water shortages, overgrazing by cattle, deforestation, soil erosion, and others. Yet even as these problems multiply, our society remains paralyzed. This paralysis stems from a conflict between our assumption that economic growth will continue and the environmental reality that we have already badly overshot the limits to growth. If the economy has expanded beyond sustainable limits, then common sense suggests that we need a smaller economy. We must adopt three simple measures: (1) substantially reduce personal consumption, (2) substantially reduce human population, and (3) drastically reduce or eliminate livestock agriculture. This book explains why we need to do this and provides an overall guide how to do it.
