Radical Ecological Thought Experiments: On Ecological & Cultural Topics at Local & Global Scales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500230319)

A collection of 1-page thought experiments and essays from 1970 to 2013, proposing a global framework for specific coordinated actions, including allowing any nations (up to 3300) into the UN, rewilding the ocean, reforesting Ireland, rejecting the package of industrialism, rethinking economics, softening the impacts of globalization, incorporating the planet, using wild design on wicked global problems beginning with energy and water, and building arcologies in Africa, Antarctica, the Palouse, Mumbai, and Canada. All of these ideas and experiments, or at least 90 percent of them, have been suggested by other authors from the 1900s to the present. Some of these presentations have been expanded in more detail, especially in Eutopias and Global Emergency Actions, from 1970 to the present. This work is an attempt to integrate them all at once as part of a global framework that enhances regional and local plans and actions.
