Publisher's Synopsis
Looks at the world around us and the ways in which we are polluting the planet. Our explosive population growth, our over-consumption of natural resources, our reckless polluting of the world, have created an unprecedented threat to civilization. Scientists tell us we have just one decade to avert disaster and salvage our children's future, that if we want to avert mass famine, disease and war, we must radically transform society and the ways in which the majority of the population live. This book explains how disaster can be averted and offers the reader options which need to be considered if the planet is to survive.
