Produktinformationen zu „Slow-Cooked Thoughts (ePub)“
Human life on the earth has taken an exacting toll on the planet. Climate is changing, biodiversity is declining, and our children's futures are in jeopardy. So what can we do, today, to reverse these trends and rediscover the value of our planet?
Slow-Cooked Thoughts is an eclectic and thought-provoking collection of talks, essays, and articles, including an account of an overland trip and two tales of life seen from the perspective of nonhuman life-forms. Running through the book is a common thread of concern for the environment, an appreciation for the arts, and rather idealistic ideas on simple ways of reversing the damage caused to the environment. Author Rohan de Soysa shows how this mindset is needed in the future so that we can achieve a balanced environment suitable for all life-forms, including human beings.
Preserving our air, water, soil, plants, animals, and the ecosystem as a whole is what is of real value. In order to realize a truly sustainable future, we must begin to respect other forms of life and, most importantly, the environment on which their survival depends.
