This book emphasises how we already have the technologies available, including renewable energies and the ability to recycle most materials, to make ecological living possible and that perceived barriers to energy transitions can be overcome.
"A careful and independent rethinking of limits to growth in the broader context of ecological living, based solidly on first principles, and empirically supported by recent data and critical analysis of technological, economic, and political options. Highly recommended!." -- Herman Daly, Emeritus Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, USA
"In Ecological Living, John Gusdorf joins the most thoughtful green capitalists in writing a text that argues for and challenges contemporary capitalism to reconcile with our earthly biosphere to chart a pathway to global sustainability and overcome the looming threat posed by declining strategic reserves of key natural resources and the spectre of eco-catastrophe from global warming. Against doomsayers of every political stripe, he crafts a positive and hopeful vision of a possible sustainable future within our collective grasp, if we only embrace it." -- Ernest J. Yanarella, Professor of Political Science, University of Kentucky, USA
