Olathe Public Library- GoodReads Branch discussion

You won't be happy after reading this book, but you will have a deeper understanding what we've done to planet Earth. "...it's clear to intelligent people, and painful to sensitive people, that we're in a lot of trouble and our efforts to deal with that have so far been pretty ineffective," writes Derrick Jensen. Industrial civilization, says Jensen, is destroying our planet. "What we leave behind" is waste. In nature, one creature's waste feeds another, and has for thousands of years. Yet our waste, what our civilization leaves behind, is toxic. We leave behind plastic, we leave behind pesticides, herbicides and other poisons. We leave behind trash that won't decompose for centuries. Unless we change, and change very, very quickly, and very, very radically, we will end up not only poisoning the planet, but poisoning ourselves, according to Jensen.

Arghh Ralph. Don't know that I can make myself read this one.
