Description
Green Philosophy: How to Think Seriously about the Planet
Roger Scruton argues that the environment is the most urgent political problem of our age, and sets out the principles that should govern our efforts to protect it. He contends that conservatism is better suited to tackle environmental problems than liberalism or socialism.
Scruton suggests that rather than relying on large-scale organisations, we must assume personal responsibility and foster local sovereignty. By empowering individuals to care for their environment and take charge of their communities, we can work towards a safer future for our planet and species.
