In fact, the answer is worse than no, in that because of these bright green lies, much of the environmental movement has been transformed from being about saving wild places and wild nature into being about powering the industrial economy. These bright green lies have turned much of the environmental movement into a lobbying arm for a sector of the industrial economy. You can have 100,000 people marching on the streets of Washington, D.C., and if you ask them why they're marching, they'll say, 'To save the planet,' but if you ask them for their demands, they'll say, 'Subsidies for the solar industry.'

The book also provides its own solutions, and more importantly, a way of looking at these problems that centres the health of the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46719147016428,"sku":"9781948626392","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21902933482881.jpg?v=1754545351"},{"product_id":"the-vegetarian-myth-by-lierre-keith-9781604860801","title":"The Vegetarian Myth","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vegetarian diet is praised for being sustainable and animal-friendly, but after 20 years of being a vegan, Lierre Keith has changed her opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContravening popular opinion, she bravely argues that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet.
