| Summary: | In his third thought-provoking RMB manifesto, Peter Denton explains how we can change course toward a sustainable future in immediate and practical ways,-and why it could make all the difference for ourselves and for future generations. As individuals and as a culture and society, we have increasingly emphasized the global village over the village in which we actually live. Our preference for the faraway is at the heart of the environmental and social catastrophes that today seem utterly unavoidable. If things are going to change, there are four words of power we need to embrace. Live close to home. Live Close to Home argues that in a climate-changing world, ecological and social resilience must be rooted in local communities, in our relationships with each other and with the physical place we call "home." |
