Talking Point

Anyone read Richard’s book yet and care to comment on it? I think that it neatly highlighted the role of Governments and the need for political dialogue.

 

Unsustainable
The urgent need to transform society and reverse climate change

by Richard Joy

Waterstones web site says the following about the book

This book is an urgent call to reimagine our social, political and economic systems so that we might transform to a sustainable society. It considers whether an  alternative economic model is possible and examines the factors needed to enable such a transition to occur. The scale and pace of change is unprecedented and the  author examines the actions that have to be taken by governments, business and individuals if we are to address the environmental disaster that confronts us.
Much needs to change but ultimately, this is a book of hope, believing that evolution to a better, more sustainable society is possible.
