Więcej o książce
Climate change is often portrayed as an overwhelming threat requiring significant sacrifices for a sustainable lifestyle. However, this book challenges that notion, presenting a collective vision from prominent figures who believe that living well doesn't have to come at such a cost. It explores diverse areas, including architecture, politics, food, and happiness, aiming to reshape perceptions of climate change and personal responsibility. Rather than focusing on despair, contributors argue that this crisis offers a unique opportunity to tackle various interconnected issues with creativity and optimism. If approached correctly, we could transition from an environmental catastrophe to a scenario where we enjoy fulfilling lives while effectively addressing pressing challenges. Notable contributions include insights on love and happiness from Phillip Pullman, A. C. Grayling, and Oliver James; discussions on design by Kevin McCloud and Nic Marks; sustainable food perspectives from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Colin Tudge; political insights from David Cameron and Caroline Lucas; and reflections on enjoyment from Tom Hodgkinson and David Boyle. Additionally, perspectives on ethical business practices are provided by Anita Roddick, Adair Turner, and others, emphasizing that a better future is possible without compromising our quality of life.
