The Durable Future

"This book has been about those big somethings: our awning understanding of our ecological peril and our psychological malaise. We have much to fear, and also much to desire, and together our fear and our desire can set us on a new, more promising course" (McKibben 226). This is the last quote of the book, and it pretty much sums up all of the important points that the author made throughout the entire thing. It explains that we have to learn from our past mistakes to create a better future for ourselves.

Overall I found that the book "Deep Economy" was much better than I had expected it to be. The author made many very insightful points, and explained everything with amazing examples making it easier for me to understand the important points he was writing about.
