About this product
Product Information
This is a controversial, yet realistic re-appraisal of current environmental thinking that will challenge our perception of sustainability and efficiency. One of the key tenets of the environmental movement is the need for greater efficiency in the use of our dwindling natural resources, especially coal, oil, and natural gas. If our products are designed to be more energy efficient, our environmental impacts will be reduced and fossil fuels will last longer. In this surprising new look at sustainability and conservation, environmentalist Steve Hallett argues this thinking is fatally flawed. In fact, based on the example of coal use throughout the Industrial Revolution, more efficiency leads to greater consumption and faster depletion of resources. This realistic appraisal of current environmental thinking will challenge environmentalists and industrialists alike. Yet recognising the inevitable limits of our growth and the shortcoming of current approaches is a necessary first step toward the establishment of a sound environmental policy.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
