Outside the Green Box Rethinking Sustainable Development
Outside the Green Box Rethinking Sustainable Development by Steve Goreham, published by New Lenox Books in May 2017, offers a critical examination of the current approaches to sustainable development. This 256-page book discusses how businesses are influenced by a multitude of regulations and public opinion to adopt sustainability measures, often leading to significant financial investments in renewable energy and other green initiatives. Goreham argues that the prevailing ideology surrounding environmental sustainability is founded on misconceptions, highlighting trends that suggest natural factors play a more significant role in climate change than human activities.
Readers will find a well-illustrated exploration of the complexities surrounding sustainability policies and their actual impact on the environment. Goreham presents data indicating that while efforts to reduce pollution are beneficial, many strategies aimed at combating global warming may be misguided. The book encourages a reevaluation of current practices, advocating for a more sensible approach to environmental stewardship that prioritizes effective pollution reduction without the constraints of ineffective policies.
Official synopsis Publisher
Today, businesses are trapped in the green box of sustainable development. Academics, government leaders, public opinion, and thousands of laws and regulations demand the adoption of sustainability. In response, companies spend billions on renewable energy, carbon credits, biofuels, and other green policies in an effort to counter the coming environmental apocalypse.
But a look at data and trends shows that the ideology of environmental sustainable development is based on false concepts. Population growth is slowing, nations continue to reduce air and water pollution, climate change is dominated by natural factors, with the effects from human greenhouse emissions are negligible, and societal access to resources continues to grow.
Society and business should adopt a policy that is sensibly green, continuing to reduce air and water pollution, but at other policies aimed at stopping global warming and halting hydrocarbon use. These policies do little for Earth’s environment.
Outside the Green Box is a well-illustrated and amusing look and society’s quest to be sustainable, and the resulting misguided policies that provide little benefit for the environment.
