Download or read book Oceana written by Ted Danson and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people know Ted Danson as the affable bartender Sam Malone in the long-running television series Cheers. But fewer realize that over the course of the past two and a half decades, Danson has tirelessly devoted himself to the cause of heading off a looming global catastrophe—the massive destruction of our planet's oceanic biosystems and the complete collapse of the world's major commercial fisheries. In Oceana, Danson details his journey from joining a modest local protest in the mid-1980s to oppose offshore oil drilling near his Southern California neighborhood to his current status as one of the world's most influential oceanic environmental activists, testifying before congressional committees in Washington, D.C.; addressing the World Trade Organization in Zurich, Switzerland; and helping found Oceana, the largest organization in the world focused solely on ocean conservation. In his incisive, conversational voice, Danson describes what has happened to our oceans in just the past half-century, ranging from the ravages of overfishing and habitat destruction to the devastating effects of ocean acidification and the wasteful horrors of fish farms. Danson also shares the stage of Oceana with some of the world's most respected authorities in the fields of marine science, commercial fishing, and environmental law, as well as with other influential activists. Combining vivid, personal prose with an array of stunning graphics, charts, and photographs, Ocean powerfully illustrates the impending crises and offers solutions that may allow us to avert them, showing you the specific courses of action you can take to become active, responsible stewards of our planet's most precious resource—its oceans.

Innocent animals are in trouble: temperatures are climbing, tides are rising, and nature is suffering. Someone needs to step in to rescue animals from extinction. Someone needs to turn this mess around, before it’s too late. And that someone is . . . the Endangereds, the unlikeliest heroes you’ll ever meet—a superstrong polar bear, a pangolin with a genius for engineering, an extremely sarcastic narwhal, and an orangutan with a big dream. Together, these four daredevils are determined to save endangered species across the globe, no matter what the risk. Rappelling into an underground cavern to save the day? No problem.

The A-Team meets the animal kingdom in the first book in the thrilling new adventure series from the host of Xploration Awesome Planet Philippe Cousteau and award-winning author Austin Aslan.
Book Synopsis Save the Earth... Don't Give Birth by : Jonathan Austen
Download or read book Save the Earth... Don't Give Birth written by Jonathan Austen and published by . This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the single best thing you can do to help the environment?Is it to stop eating meat? Drive and fly less? Recycle and use less energy in your home? It is none of these. The best thing you can do to help the environment, by far, is to have a small family, or even better have no children at all. By not adding another person to the planet, you are saving an entire lifetime's worth of pollution, waste, carbon dioxide emissions and consumption. It is a truth universally ignored that a planet on the verge of collapse must address the root cause ecological annihilation: overpopulation. World population has rocketed from only one billion to nearly 8 billion in only the last two centuries. Add to this our personal consumption, which has multiplied by many times in the developed world over the last 50 years, and we are potentially heading to a cataclysm of epic proportions. We are in the middle of the Sixth Extinction and the climate is becoming unstable before our eyes. Allowing the world's population to rocket to its current level is the biggest act of criminal negligence ever committed, by ourselves upon ourselves. We know we're heading in the wrong direction, but we blindly follow the path towards the cliff edge.We have to ask, 'How did we let this happen?' It is happening right now and we are carrying on as if everything is normal. So why has virtually nothing been done about the exponential increase in our numbers? Why is it the elephant in the room, with any talk about population off the agenda with virtually no one talking about it? This book contains everything you ever wanted to know about overpopulation but were afraid to ask. Save The Earth, Don't Give Birth covers everything influencing population growth, from the personal to the global, from politics to religion, controversial areas often ignored by the media and general conversation.How did we get here? The human population has risen dramatically, particularly over the last 200 years. The causes and the implications explained, from Malthus to Ehrlich, who gave us warnings which have been ignored. It isn't a simple matter of too many people, with different cultures and governments with different policies affecting population growth. Apocalypse Soon? Modern society, capitalism and technology have combined to destroy the fabric of the Earth itself, devastating wildlife and polluting the air, sea and land. The combined impacts are happening now across the planet.It is a Very Tricky Subject. Given the apocalyptic scenario we are facing, why are we not doing more about it? Here are all of the reasons why we are sitting back and watching it happen.The Bounty of the Commons. What we could do to achieve lower population growth across the globe, from the smallest personal actions to global policies. All of the negatives from the Impacts could be reversed to bring a better world for everyone, and everything, on our one and only planet.
Book Synopsis Planet Palm by : Jocelyn C. Zuckerman
Download or read book Planet Palm written by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist, Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism In the tradition of Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation, a groundbreaking global investigation into the industry ravaging the environment and global health—from the James Beard Award–winning journalist Over the past few decades, palm oil has seeped into every corner of our lives. Worldwide, palm oil production has nearly doubled in just the last decade: oil-palm plantations now cover an area nearly the size of New Zealand, and some form of the commodity lurks in half the products on U.S. grocery shelves. But the palm oil revolution has been built on stolen land and slave labor; it’s swept away cultures and so devastated the landscapes of Southeast Asia that iconic animals now teeter on the brink of extinction. Fires lit to clear the way for plantations spew carbon emissions to rival those of industrialized nations. James Beard Award–winning journalist Jocelyn C. Zuckerman spent years traveling the globe, from Liberia to Indonesia, India to Brazil, reporting on the human and environmental impacts of this poorly understood plant. The result is Planet Palm, a riveting account blending history, science, politics, and food as seen through the people whose lives have been upended by this hidden ingredient. This groundbreaking work of first-rate journalism compels us to examine the connections between the choices we make at the grocery store and a planet under siege.

Book Synopsis It's My World Too by : Elena Pasquali
Download or read book It's My World Too written by Elena Pasquali and published by Lion Children's Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated yet sincere picture book features an adorable cast of animals from around the world to encourage children to practice respect for the planet and the animals that share it with us. Heartfelt conversations between mother and baby animals (pandas, elephants, snow leopards, chimps and porpoises) highlight how both global and local human impact is threatening their habitats, but also the things - both natural and human - that go to make it a better place. With a hole-in-the-page novelty, 'think about' boxes and a pleaful refrain from the animals to remember 'it's my world too', this book is playful in approach but with a serious message at heart, to give children an awareness of important environmental issues and encouragement to be kind to their planet.
