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, Mobilizing the Green Imagination belongs in the back
pocket of anyone who dares to dream of a brighter future and a better
world.
