A Simple Way to Save Earth proposes a bold yet logical approach to addressing both climate change and social justice issues simultaneously.
The book argues that relying on individual consumer responsibility alone is insufficient due to the innate limits of human awareness and evolutionary socialization. People's minds naturally focus on their immediate community, making it difficult to consider the global impacts of their purchasing choices.
Instead, the author advocates for top-down systemic change through enforceable regulations on corporations. Companies should be mandated by law to implement ethical production and shipping practices, regardless of consumer demand. This large-scale transformation would promote sustainability and fairness all along product supply chains.
By shifting accountability from consumers to producers the world can envision how to ethically reshape capitalism for the long-term future. The consumer as the decision party for co2-neutrality and fair trade has failed.
This book presents a provocative but well-reasoned plan to save Earth by compelling those most able to effect change - powerful multinational companies - to take responsibility for the true costs of their activities. A must-read for anyone concerned about climate, equality, and human progress.
