Publisher's Synopsis
Our present population is at least twice that sustainable, resulting in excessive consumption, resource depletion, the energy crisis, pollution, global warming, environmental destruction, and viral pandemics such as that of COVID-19. We face economic collapse and increasing war and terrorism. Causes of our problems include incompetent leadership in politics and business, corrupt capitalism, globalization, megacities built around cars, 'junk' products and the 'bullshit and brainwashing' used in religion, politics and business. Unless we deal with our critical situation the earth will be so ravaged by environmental destruction, pollution, viral pandemics and climate change that we will be reduced to a subsistence existence or made extinct like the 50% of animal species expected to disappear in the next 200 years.
