To acknowledge both sides of this paradox is to enter a realm of difficult decisions: should we take down the government, or try to change it from the inside? Is it okay to compare climate change to Hitler? Is hope naive or indispensable? How do you tackle collective delusion? Should we still have kids? And can we take them to Disneyland? Inquisitive and relatable, Kopecky strikes a rare note of optimistic realism as he guides us through the moral minefields of our polarized world. From start to finish, The Environmentalist's Dilemma returns to the central question: How should we engage with the story of our times?" --|cProvided by publisher. 530 Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 Environmentalism|xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 0 Environmentalists|xConduct of life. 650 0 Sustainable living|xDecision making.
