What Do Greens Believe

"Greens are driven by an urgent concern for the future - ours and our planet's. They argue that theirs is the only way of ensuring that our future is sustainable, and they put their case across by deploying all the powerful, emotive, and politically controversial arguments at their disposal." "In the space of a couple of decades, Greens have turned their case into an influential movement, with the result that issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss are ubiquitous and familiar. The challenge confronting the Greens now is to turn their rhetoric into meaningful action. In this introduction, Joe Smith looks at the Greens' historical roots and considers whether they truly have the potential to change the world."--Jacket.
