Rob Hengeveld: Wasted World: How Our Consumption Challenges the Planet

摘要

This book by Rob Hengeveld is about environmental problems that are highly interconnected to each other. It deals with climate change and agricultural production and energy depletion and pollution. According to Hengeveld these problems lead back to one core problem: the "ever"-increasing human population of the world. This book is essentially realistic with a touch of pessimism. The author aims to raise among his readers an awareness of the present state of affairs, in the hope to motivate them to start acting before it is too late.
