Elegant and audacious possibilities that push the boundaries of contemporary environmentalism
Dysfunctional cities, catastrophic climate change, ever-deepening distance from nature-today we see environmental disaster everywhere we look. In
Mobilizing the Green Imagination
, philosophical provocateur Anthony Weston urges us to move beyond ever more desperate attempts to "green" the status quo, toward entirely different and far more inviting ecological visions:
Life after transportation-decentralized work, inventive infill and self-sufficient micro-communities to facilitate life in place
Adaptation with attitude-cities that welcome the rising waters
A Great Second Chance-moving beyond exploitation of the whole natural world
A cosmic ecology-why not a green space program?
These postcards from beyond the leading edge of today's green thinking are bold, audacious, extravagantly hopeful and profoundly inspiring-the perfect antidote to the despair brought on by too many "doom and gloom" scenarios. Nothing less than a complete reinvention of contemporary environmentalism,
belongs in the back pocket of anyone who dares to dream of a brighter future and a better world.
