- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is a biased look at our environment. It's looking at one dot on a paper with 10000 dots on it. Mostly bulls***
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a good introduction to a host of problems stemming from so many people on earth now and too little knowledge of how to co-exist without degrading resourses and health for all.The book itself makes sense. Unfortunately the authors never followed through on backing their opinions after writing the book. Perhaps they did not really believe what they wrote. I would have rated the book higher if the authos had acted as they wrote.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A wake-up call to the problems of the environment, but also an uplifting depiction of the people who are working at the grass roots level to solve the problems.
