Gates explores past environmental crises that humanity has successfully addressed, highlighting moments in history where environmental damage was reversed. He demonstrates that concerted efforts from motivated activists and scientists can lead to victories, such as the elimination of toxins and pesticides like lead and DDT, and the increase in Bald Eagle populations. Gates also evaluates our current approaches to climate change and highlights what more could be done, including solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and geothermal, algal fuels, and nuclear energy. He argues that by learning from our history, the planet may still have a bright and healthy future ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 490g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 160 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538179673\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexander Gates","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46540880249082,"sku":"9781538179673","price":28.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1723233248226_book.jpg?v=1723380403","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reclaiming-our-planet-how-environmental-history-can-help-solve-the-climate-crisis-9781538179673","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
