Description
By S J Loran
The One Hour Ecologist is a sixty minute overview of how we use the planet’s resources in everyday life, as well as exploring the daily bombardment of advertising that tells us that more, cleaner, brighter, and most importantly newer, equals better. This book explores how this constant consumption is negatively impacting the earth’s ability to restore itself.
In just an hour, we discuss the origins and biology of the planet we call home, and how it’s systems are designed to regulate water, soil, and atmosphere. Furthermore, detailing how the natural world’s plants, animals, and minerals play a vital role in creating healthy environments that absorb carbon, cycle water and nourish the soil.
We then discuss very ordinary behaviours – such as eating a fish finger sandwich or reading a newspaper – and the life cycle of each tiny element of these things, and how each of those tiny elements amount to a bigger combined impact on the planet.
This short book is designed to be a brief exploration of environmental issues for busy people, and contains plenty of beyond-the-hour websites, YouTube videos, and books, should you wish to deepen your knowledge.
