Ecology for the 99%

If everyone - from Emmanuel Macron to Jeff Bezos, and even Coca Cola - is green, why is the environmental crisis growing at an alarmingly rapid rate? With the world population already experiencing the impact of climate change, not all of us are equally exposed to its violent effects. Environmental protection continues to be a divisive issue, with steadfast supporters but equally real enemies, some of whom stoop to greenwashing. Here, we draw the battle lines. To avoid being duped by false allies and create an ecology for the 99%, we must discuss a taboo topic: the exit from capitalism. This book is a crash course in the economics of capitalism and political strategies, an attempt to build a grassroots environmental movement by launching a discussion about some persistent myths. It presents compelling evidence why carbon market policies will fail, why a capitalist economy cannot be based on renewable energy sources, and why we should be protesting against overproduction, not overconsumption. This is an essential tool for those who want to debunk the most common myths about the ecological crisis and propose solutions. An antidote to apathy, a bulwark against false leads and, above all, a gold mine of arguments for all your debates with family or friends! Time is running out. We can't afford to take any wrong turns.
