Book description
The Protein Crunch Civilisation on the brink is a capitalist s tour of
the environment. The authors reveal the hard facts of how environmental
degradation is already affecting all of us from food price riots to the
collapse of countries like Somalia. Water, land and sea combine to
produce the food we eat and these natural resources have become
critically degraded at a time when our expanding population needs them
most, bringing us to The Protein Crunch. Supported by in-depth research,
The Protein Crunch looks at the risks we are running that may lead to
the collapse of the western way of life - and the extraordinary
opportunities for entrepreneurs in the business of fixing the
environmental issues we face. A brilliant, accessible and inspirational
work - it brings the environment to life in a business like manner. Hope
without action is just a comforting illusion. Reviews: "The Protein
Crunch is extremely timely and important, and it is also clear and
convincing. It should be read by everyone who is concerned about the
sustainability of the situation we have created on this small
planet." (Dr. E Lazlo Founder of the Budapest Club... "I found
it full of fascinating information, well put together to constitute a
kind of manifesto or warning for the future. Think differently, or see
our society and its precious environment go horribly wrong" (Sir
Crispin Tickell, GCMG, KCVO, President of the Royal Geographical Society
London)... The Protein Crunch provides an excellent summary of all those
systemic linkages regarding food, energy, water, land use and
population, with plenty of pointers as to how to change course even at
this very late stage. I can only hope that it will seriously affect the
way people see our world! (Jonathon Porrit)... Jason Drew is a
Renaissance Man... deeply knowledgeable - and passionate about saving
our world (Sue Grant Marshall, Radio Today)... The one book on the
environment everyone should read (Robert Swan MBE FRGS, Polar explorer).
