Book Giveaway For Green Washed: Why We Can't Buy Our Way to a Green Planet

[close] Ig Publishing is delighted to announce this give away for the launch of Kendra Pierre-Louis's book, Green Washed: Why We Can't Buy Our Way to a Green Planet. Green Washed is a new and unique take on green consumption, that author and environmental activist Bill McKibben says, "...makes clear, [that] what we need even more than clean cars are clean politics and economics that let us make sensible structural choices."

By examining the major economic sectors of our society, including infrastructure (green housing), consumer goods (green clothing), food (the rise of organic), and energy (including solar power and the popularity of the hybrid car), Green Washed: Why We Can't Buy Our Way to a Green Planet explains that, though greener alternatives are important, we cannot simply buy our way to sustainability. Rather, if it is the volume of our consumption that matters, can we as a society dependent on constantly consuming ever be content with buying less? [close]
