Editor reviews

Worldwatch.org celebrates its 20th year as one of the world's preeminent environmental organizations. Think of this audio as a refresher on the most important environmental conversations and innovations in these past years. Reviewing green economy, growth, and environmental laws and politics, this book is a clear, informed overview of the state of the "green movement" today. Jack Garrett' narration is deliberate and slow, as if to give his listeners time to jot down notes, or simply reflect. The book was written in 2012, so the audio already feels slightly dated - for example the audiobook is written before the sustainable development summit known as Rio 2012. A great listen for anyone feeling like they need a global issues review before they face the future.
