First, the bad news. The population explosion around the globe, the unfettered escalation of technology, and a seemingly insatiable hunger for consumption are fuelling the destruction of our natural environment. Now, the good news. In this book, Dr David Suzuki and Holly Dressel offer readers some much-needed positive news. There really are things that can be done to help our environment before it's too late, and more than ever before people are willing to make changes to try to do something about the threats facing our natural life support systems. The book showcases the solutions that already exist and that are in practice in many parts of the world. From electric cars to windmills, from water purification systems to global environmental management agreements, many of the solutions to our most pressing problems already exist, and are already being put into practice. All that is required is better communication of what we could be doing with our time, energy, and wealth; and the political and social will to bring it about. The book is intended to bring thousands of concerned readers all over the world some much-needed hope. There really are things that can be done to turn around the horrendous mass extinctions, the loss of soil and water quality, and the destruction of our atmosphere and weather. Suzuki's strong message is that we need to talk about them, apply them, and open our minds to adaptation and change.
