It tracks the money machine of wealthy foundations and individuals who give instructions along with their money and explores how donors manipulate eco-ideology, attack selected industries, and influence government regulations by supporting agreeable experts as advisors to powerful agencies. Here are sound ideas to crack open the barriers that hide Big Green and its dangers to America's free society, our continuing achievements, and a desirable future.

Have you worried that all that we can seem to do so far is to debate whether climate change exists, whether it's mankind's fault, and whether anything should be done about it? Have you felt despair because while all of this debate continues, you or your family or your friends are standing waist deep in flood waters? This book isn't a debate about climate change. The facts described in nearly all of the global warming books takes care of doing that. This book is about realistic solutions that can be implemented globally to treat the symptoms of climate change!

En temps de crise, l'économie est souvent accusée de tous les maux. Mais si au lieu de la diaboliser, nous revisitons son rôle dans la société ? On pense en général qu'elle ne crée que des biens. C'est oublier sa vocation première : créer du lien, comme le montrent les réseaux d'économie solidaire. On pense aussi qu'elle épuise autant les ressources naturelles que les individus et les sociétés. C'est négliger les nouvelles pistes qui sont à notre portée, sources d'une croissance centrée sur le vivre-ensemble.

Today the food and agricultural markets of India and China are in motion. The history of agricultural change is littered with hunger, poverty, and failure. Will that curse pass itself on to this Asian generation? Or is there a brighter future ahead of us? Now China is rapidly becoming the wealthiest country in the world. China's water shortages and its rice market are fault lines that finger their way beneath the surface of the world economy.

China’s meteoric rise to economic powerhouse might be charted with dams. Every river in the country has been tapped to power exploding cities and factories - every river but one. Running through one of the richest natural areas in the world, the Nujiang’s raging waters were on the verge of being dammed when a 2004 government moratorium halted construction. Might the Chinese dragon bow to the "Angry River"? Would Beijing put local people and their land ahead of power and profit? Could this remote region actually become a model for sustainable growth? Ed Grumbine traveled to the far corners of China’s Yunnan province to find out.

In QE44, Andrew Charlton exposes the rift that will shape our future progress versus planet; rich versus poor. Who, then, will save us? Charlton shows there are two leading candidates: economists and environmentalists. Each says they know what is best for our grandchildren. Yet environmentalists see economists as merchants of greed with a blind faith in markets. And economists see environmentalism as an indulgence for the middle class of richer nations; those who enjoy the lifestyle afforded by economic growth, but take its source for granted.

In this groundbreaking guide to building an ethical economy, Peter Brown and his colleagues at the Quaker Institute for the Future show readers how a system that embodies the core Quaker principle of "right relationship" can deliver a more equitable and sustainable future.

Svolta verde con digressione letteraria: La svolta verde: fonti rinnovabili e meno risorse consumate, l'Istat a sorpresa mostra una nuova Italia, di Corrado Zunino; I verdi così tanti così soli, di Sergio Rizzo; Renzo Piano sui dati dell'Istat: "L'ecologia fa bene anche al business", di Federico Rampini; Don Winslow: confesso, sono il Bardo dei narcos, di Antonello Guerrera.

A groundbreaking volume from the president and CEO of the Appalachian Mountain Club makes the profound argument that to preserve the environment, a revolution must take place in which every person becomes a champion for nature and the outdoors. In The Outdoor Citizen, John Judge coins the term "the outdoor citizen" delivering his remarkably persuasive argument that we must all become citizens of the natural world, owning and instilling in the next generation a keen interest in the outdoors and reconnecting with life's most essential foundation: nature.

Zeit zu handeln: Der bekannte "Terra X"-Moderator über die Bewahrung der Artenvielfalt. "Wir befinden uns mitten im sechsten Massenartensterben und erleben den größten Artenschwund seit dem Aussterben der Dinosaurier. Der Mensch hat es ausgelöst und nur er kann ihn stoppen." Der bekannte Naturfilmer und Terra-X-Moderator Dirk Steffens engagiert sich seit Jahren für den Artenschutz, und er fordert drastische Maßnahmen.

Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and supply-chain crisis. Puerto Rico, with over 70 years of critical manufacturing experience, is in an ideal position to lead this fight with the United States. Puerto Rico is also about to receive the largest allocation of federal relief funds in US history—over 80 billion dollars to construct thousands of homes, critical infrastructure, renewable energy, and other vital projects. In addition to relief funds, Puerto Rico has created a series of tax incentives to bring in new businesses and people to the island.

"Der Kill-Score" erzählt mit einem radikalen Realismus die Geschichte von den tödlichen Folgen unseres Handelns.

Our construction process is stuck in the Flintstones, yet we manufacture phones, computers, and electric cars like spaceships. This needs to change so humanity can continue to thrive in the next century. We need to completely eliminate the current construction process and rebuild it from the ground up. It took 20 years of research working in construction, entertainment, and design to invent a quickly scalable solution to begin solving our housing problems.
