Description
Brave Green World: How Science Can Save Our Planet Our natural world is remarkably efficient at recycling resources, with every atom playing a vital role in the perpetual cycle of life. In contrast, human systems of energy production and manufacturing are linear, generating waste as their primary byproduct. This book offers a vision for a more sustainable future by exploring how we can learn from nature's circularity to combine biology and manufacturing in solving our central problems of waste and pollution. Chris Forman and Claire Asher present an unflinching yet positive view of the potential for science to drive change. By examining the efficiency of ecosystems, they demonstrate that it is possible to create a more circular approach to energy production and manufacturing, one that minimizes waste and maximizes resource utilization. Through this book, you'll gain insights into the possibilities of a more sustainable future, where human systems are aligned with the natural world's ability to recycle resources.
