The book addresses the subject a a whole. I think you'd really enjoy it.Might look into that if I get a chance - time is scarce at the moment! I like his agriculture/ecology stuff because he does have a good background knowledge of the subject.
I am very sceptical of modern environmentalism - it is too riddled with soundbites, oversimplistic solutions to immensely complex problems, and is tainted by the corporate dollar, PR, and lobbying. Too many of the politicians, journalists, and activists making a noise about it don't ask the important questions and don't always understand agriculture or fisheries, seeing the countryside and oceans as abstract concepts rather than living communities. Bloody city folk
Great song
That's impressive - to go from nothing to playing Chopin and reading sheet music in six months. Good on her.To be fair to Diane... she did give a public concert, playing some Chopin piano music - apparently learned to play quite late in life.

I still advocate for environmentalism, but am very wary of the hijacking, tokenism, and false promises - which can lead to ineffective or even bad policies.Isnt the bigger picture that if you dismiss 'modern environmentalism' because its been hijacked by the corporate greedies, then youve got nowhere to go and are doomed. Isnt it better to embrace the environmental tidal wave warts and all but condemn the capitalist freeriders?
I wouldn't claim expertise on this but I often think the market ideology approach to the environment is doomed and unworkable.I still advocate for environmentalism, but am very wary of the hijacking, tokenism, and false promises - which can lead to ineffective or even bad policies.
Carbon credits, for example, are oft abused. Oil companies displaying their green credentials to deflect away from the fact that they are destroying vast tracts of the environment. Politicians like Trudeau saying one thing and doing another. I don't dismiss modern environmentalism, but certainly do criticise.
