We' ve been ? saving the planet!? for decades now, and the crises have only gotten worse. Many of us? environmentalists included? continue to live deeply unsustainable lives. At home, affluent Americans ? buy green? ; while at work, they maximize profits with dirty energy and toxic industries that are poisoning our poorer communities. With brevity, humor, and plenty of attitude, Jenny Price tracks ? save the planet!? enthusiasm through strategies that range from ridiculously ineffective (Prius-buying and carbon trading) to flat-out counterproductive (greenwashing, and public subsidies to greenwash). We need to imagine far better ways to use and inhabit environments. Why aren' t we cleaning up the messes we' ve already made? And why do so many people hate environmentalists? Price offers trailblazing answers, along with powerful ideas for how to divest from self-destruction and invest in mutual survival.
In this brief, energetic book, Price pleads for a more comprehensive environmentalism, which she defines as ' in here' rather than ' out there. ' The rapidly paced, conversational narrative, loaded with bullet points, sidebars, [and] pull quotes. . . A fun introduction to a serious topic that should serve as a starting point for further study and action. --Kirkus When keeping it real goes right--in this moment of reckoning, Jenny Price calls us out to call us in and does so with humor, insight, and an in-your-face attitude that is informed and dare I say, hopeful about our capacity to change how we think, see, and ' do' green. --Carolyn Finney, author of Black Faces, White Spaces
