Can I Recycle My Granny?: And 39 Other Eco-Dilemmas [Paperback]

Ethan Greenhart (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2008

Ethan Greenhart is a committed ethicist, green writer, and activist. Ethan is so ethical when it comes to the environment, it's scary. He favors euthanasia as a solution to the world's over-crowding problems; he is opposed to throwing confetti at weddings because it contains bleach and artificial colorings that leak into the earth; and he doesn't travel anywhere that can't be reached by foot. In summary, Ethan has an environmental bone to pick with every aspect of modern life, from voting to vacationing to having children. Based on his hugely popular and provocative weekly advice columns for Spiked magazine, this engaging collection of essays provides innovative answers to all of today’s most pressing environmental dilemmas. Hilarious and thought-provoking, this is an acidly accurate satire that’s sure to hit home.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I would recommend that you go out and buy Can I Recycle My Granny ... richly comic.' -- Independent 'a skidmark on the gusset of environmentalism' -- BBC Focus Magazine 'Taking the imperilled world by storm ... a book that should be in every Green Party Christmas stocking' -- Irish Independent
