We are reluctant to change. We seem willing to address climate change only if our lives can remain how they are now.
To bring our emissions in line with other industrial nations, we must cut our consumption by half. Government policy alone cannot do this for us. Adding solar panels to consumerism won’t solve climate change; it will just create solar-powered consumerism. True change means deep change.
This goal of this book is not to label people bad for consuming, but to pose a simple question that might help us care for the Earth: How much is enough?
