Saving the Environment: What It Will Take

by Ted Trainer

The environmental policies of the 1990's are failing to deal with the underlying causes of environmental decline. In this lively, accessible book, Dr. Trainer presents his key arguments for limiting economic growth. This book shows that an emphasis on recycling programs and pollution controls are distracting governments from the real social and cultural causes of environmental decline. We are over producing and over consuming and solutions to the environmental problem will fail unless we recognize this fact. Saving the Environment: What Will It Take provides concrete proposals for reshaping Western societies to guarantee a long-term sustainable future.
