About This Book
Starting with the smoke-filled skies of the Industrial Revolution, we trace how environmental concerns grew from local issues into global crises. Inside, you will discover:
- The Roots of the Problem: How industrial growth unleashed widespread pollution—affecting the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land that feeds us, and filling our world with plastic.
- The Games People Play: Understand the hidden power dynamics involving governments, corporations, and lobbyists. Learn about tactics like greenwashing, the controversy around carbon credits, and why policies often seem to protect polluters.
- The Human Cost: Hear the stories of communities suffering from pollution's impact, the rise of eco-refugees forced from their homes by climate change, and the brave activists fighting back.
- A Divided World: Examine the stark inequalities between wealthy nations that often export their environmental problems and developing nations left dealing with the consequences.
