Getting to Green: Saving Nature: A Bipartisan Solution (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The Green movement in America has lost its way. Congress has not passed a major piece of environmental legislation for a quarter-century. Environmentalists declared climate to be their top priority but could not bring a carbon cap-and-trade bill to a vote, even with Democrats in control of Congress. For conservative Republicans, anti-environmentalism has become an article of faith. Pew polling reveals that the environment is one of two things about which Republicans and Democrats disagree most. Even environmental insiders have pronounced “the death of environmentalism,” provoking a decade-long bout of angst in the environmental community.


Frederic C. Rich, whose career has spanned the worlds of global capitalism and environmental activism, is uniquely situated to speak to both Green and conservative circles. In Getting to Green, he reminds us that conservation is mandated by conservative principles, explains why the environmental movement stalled, and shows how it can get back on track.
