Book
By now, even the biggest skeptic must admit that our collective behavior as a species is having a devastating effect on our planet. Environmental pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change - we keep destroying our living environment with a vengeance and it's getting worse at every turn. What's wróng with us?
Even when we openly acknowledge the total mess we've made, we simply refuse to drive it to its final conclusion: that ecological overshoot or overconsumption (when a species exceeds the carrying capacity of its habitat) inevitably leads to collapse. It's a matter of natural law, and it's happening to us, the human species, in the here and now.
In Another Sixty Signs of Societal Collapse, author, public speaker and self-pronounced climate confrontealist Bart Flos uncovers the precarious relationship between individuals and their surrounding social groups, societies and systems. Suprasystemic collapse is an unimaginably large all-destructive event, but it starts small and local: with you.
'The sad thing about it all is that we've had plenty of opportunity to fix our global problems, but we kept debating it without actually chánging anything', says Flos. 'And now it's too late. The only choice we have left is a taboo subject in its own merit: collapse awareness, acceptance and resilience. I'm trying to break through that forbidden barrier by smacking us in the face with facts, truth and reality.'
This book, together with its twin sister Sixty Signs of Societal Collapse, will protect you from the overwhelming amount of ignorance, short-sightedness and stupidity that's going around. So, beware to be smacked. «
