Publisher description
"How to build a more just world and save the planet....We should all heed Brown's advice."—Bill Clinton
In this updated edition of the landmark Plan B, Lester Brown outlines a survival strategy for our early twenty-first-century civilization. The world faces many environmental trends of disruption and decline, including rising temperatures and spreading water shortage. In addition to these looming threats, we face the peaking of oil, annual population growth of 70 million, a widening global economic divide, and a growing list of failing states. The scale and complexity of issues facing our fast-forward world have no precedent
With Plan A, business as usual, we have neglected these issues overly long. In Plan B 3.0, Lester R. Brown warns that the only effective response now is a World War II-type mobilization like that in the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
A bold plan for a bold future. (Rating 4 of 5)
» B. Alborough
THe world faces what most see as insurmountable challenges, yet here is someone bold enough to say 'lets stop the denial, lets start solving the issues...' An extremely good synopsis of the principle threats to humankind and the planet, followed up by practical and bold solutions. If you give a jot about the future, read this book, lobby your government to have courage, take action yourself and well... pray, pray that we get this right. Highly recommended.
