Go Golden: Applying a Universal Religious Teaching and the Ethics of Permaculture to Create a Sustainable, Just, Happier Society

by Dillon Naber Cruz, Lee C. Barrett (Foreword)

Symptoms of broken systems are all around us, due to our over-consumptive lifestyles, nearly unfettered capitalism, failure to live peaceably together, and the societal dismissal of nature’s limits. Climate change is our new reality, and we must respond to that immediately. Fortunately, the world’s faith traditions in general—and Christianity specifically—have given us a spiritual path to follow that can alleviate these problems. When the golden rule is coupled with the ethics and principles of permaculture in theory and in practice, then humanity and the diversity of other species can harmoniously thrive together. Go Golden , like a weather vane, points the reader towards the path forward.

Very Informative

This book is very informative on current events in our world that affects us all. From climate change, insecticides on our food, health pandemics, fuel emissions and basic human interaction. The author ties all of these together in the sense of caring for our world and following the golden rule of caring for our fellow human beings. There is a lot to be done for the good of our world and humanity, but all of us working together can bring about the changes we need.

Excellent book about linking environment, religion and politics

This is an interesting look into the integration of living the right way to take care of our earth, being a good neighbor to our neighbors, and supporting the right things in the politics of our country.
