A Planet of 3 Billion

“Essential reading for anyone who cares about the fate of our planet and our species.”  – Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE

 

“A truly ground-breaking book on how humanity can successfully face the climate crisis. It changed how I look at humanity’s future.” – D.H.

 

How many people can the Earth support? Tucker makes the case that the Earth’s ‘carrying capacity’ is limited to 3 billion humans, and that humanity’s century long binge has incurred an unsustainable ecological debt that must be paid down promptly, or else cataclysm awaits. Given that our species has already surpassed 7.5 billion, and is fast approaching 9 billion or more, this is an audacious claim that everyone who cares about the fate of our planet and our species has a responsibility to evaluate for themselves.

 

This book is for anyone who is interested in the world around them, concerned about the fate of the planet, and seeking insights that can help them become part of the solutions that would put us on a path to a resilient future.

Or, for that matter, when employees of a company don’t share the same values as their executives? Welcome to the world of Brand Activism. Companies no longer have a choice. If the gap between a business and its values and its customers or society and his other stakeholders is too large, business will inevitably suffer.
