Purchase options and add-ons

Today, businesses are trapped in the green box of sustainable development. Academics, government leaders, public opinion, and thousands of laws and regulations demand the adoption of sustainability. In response, companies spend billions on renewable energy, carbon credits, biofuels, and other green policies in an effort to counter the coming environmental apocalypse.

But a look at data and trends shows that the ideology of environmental sustainable development is based on false concepts. Population growth is slowing, nations continue to reduce air and water pollution, climate change is dominated by natural factors, with the effects from human greenhouse emissions negligible, and societal access to resources continues to grow.

Society and business should adopt a policy that is sensibly green, continuing to reduce air and water pollution, but avoid other policies aimed at stopping global warming and halting hydrocarbon use. These policies do little for Earth's environment.

Outside the Green Box is a well-illustrated and amusing look at society's quest to be sustainable, and the resulting misguided policies that provide little benefit for the environment.

Offers a variety of topics within the subject to explain, for example, renewable versus sustainable and why certain attractive energy sources, such as solar and wind, have major limitations and high costs which are suppressed by today's ideological eco-fascists. Well worth the read to get yourself further informed from a non-partisan perspective. Learn why your electric car is just as "dirty" as a gas powered car, for example. Learn to apply simple principles of real science to understand the issue of sustainability and why humankind has such a small affect on the planet. This is a serious book and thoroughly footnoted. I am pleased that this is a significant addition to my small, select library on the subject.

I found the well documented content of this book to be very informative. The author does not shy away from taking us as the human race to task for things we can improve on to make our world and plant better, but also gives reasoned thought to the many 'rabbit Holes' we as societies run down in hopes of 'saving the planet'. The book was a 'breath of fresh air' from the constant brow beating we receive from the global warming bandwagon.

This book explodes many of the green myths regarding such issues as overpopulation, resource depletion, air and water pollution, and of course, global warming. Author does a splendid job of producing charts, graphs and other facts to back his points ... Al Gore probably hopes you don’t read it!

This book should be mandatory reading for every student in High School in order for them to graduate. This needs to be taught in every University and College around the globe. The reality is that all this sustainability nonsense drives up costs for everyone and harms minorities and the poor the most. Our government should put a cost to each wacko policy and publish it. I don’t think the Democratic Party would like to flash around that the poor and minorities are needlessly paying X more dollars every year for bogus renewable energy, sustainable food, etc. The fear-mongering is over. Hallelujah!!

Sensible, fact-based presentation of what is and is not pollution. I loved the evolution of the sustainability mythology with quotations going back decades and even hundreds of years illustrating peoples’ propensity to take credit for everything that happens in nature.

For those of us who are tired of the leftist global warming, sustainability UN Agenda 21 totalitarian BS...it is refreshing to read material from a sane mind. Just the facts and nothing but the facts. Steve is right....a change is about to happen. First Trump backs out of the Paris accord.....next the federal money for the climate change industrial complex will dry up. Then the leftist professors who pimped their integrity out in order to get research grants will be looking for new jobs. Finally an end is in sight.
