The perfect antidote to pessimistic "gloom and doom" scenarios, Mobilizing the Green Imagination invites us to radically remake environmentalism from the inside out. Philosophical provocateur Anthony Weston urges us to move beyond ever more desperate attempts to "green" the status quo, toward entirely different and far more inviting ecological visions including: Adaptation with attitude - cities that welcome the rising waters. Life after transportation - decentralized work, inventive infill and self-sufficient micro-communities to facilitate life in place. A Great Second Chance - moving beyond exploitation of the whole natural world. A cosmic ecology - why not a green space program? These postcards from beyond the leading edge of today's green thinking are bold, audacious, extravagantly hopeful and profoundly inspiring. Nothing less than a complete reinvention of contemporary environmentalism, Mobilizing the Green Imagination belongs in the back pocket of anyone who dares to dream of a brighter future and a better world.
