Editorial Review

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. As the “ecological crisis nears the boiling point,” human rights activist and environmental leader Jones (president of the national organization Green For All) lays out a visionary, meticulous and practical explanation of the two major challenges the U.S. currently faces-massive socioeconomic inequality and imminent ecological catastrophe-and how the current third wave of environmentalism, the “investment” wave, can solve both.

If industry players want to take advantage of growing consumer demand for green solutions, they’ll have to follow principles of inclusiveness as well as conservation and inventiveness to create “broad opportunity and shared prosperity” for citizens at all levels of society. Rife with statistics, facts and history lessons, Jones introduces a “Green New Deal,” a re-imagining of FDR’s original New Deal that makes the government “a partner” (as opposed to a “nanny” or “bully”) of the people, and sets about defining the principles of a “smart, supportive, reliable” partnership. Jones examines success stories from around the world (included close looks at Chicago and Milwaukee), defines government priorities at national and local levels and offers concrete solutions; one major positive step for any “significant U.S. metropolis” is to “invest massively in constructing buses, light rail cars, and mass-transit projects,” creating good jobs while cutting greenhouse gases.

With both caution and hope, Jones concludes that “tens of thousands of heroes at every level of human society” will be needed to carry off this third, and perhaps ultimate, green initiative.
