Book Reviews of Trashing the Economy: How Runaway Environmentalism Is Wrecking America
Book Review: Trashing Reality
Summary: 1 Stars
The authors certainly make a big deal about presenting the "little known" FACTS about environmental groups that will supposedly support their premise that these groups are out to "trash the economy." First of all, this requires the premise that there is no financial value to the environment, no financial value to clean air and water. No where in this book do the authors present facts of actual & SUSTAINING damages to the economy resulting from these groups, except for the notorious case of the alar scare and the dolpin tactics used to control huge, out-of-control nets. They lump legitimate tactics with the fringe radical groups, painting all environmentalists with the same brush. They are very righteous about foot-noting their sources, most of who are malcontents, or who have their own hidden adgenda for which another book could be written. The authors continue to malign the groups for being "rich", large , and interconnected - SO WHAT! They operate just like big businesses, as they should. One example of many unsupported contentions is that the Nature Conservancy's buying of three islands off the coast of Virginia robbed the economy of thousands of jobs!! The authors failed to present facts to support that statement! They fail to include the dollars generated by eco-tourism, one of the fastest growing segments of our economy. I guess these guys would like to see bridges to the galapogas islands. What a one-sided rip!
