Barefoot Bookshop Reviews The Story of Life & the Environment: An African Perspective

The Story of Life & the Environment: An African PerspectiveVerdict: carrot

With all the skullduggery about fracking that’s going on at the moment – the climate change denialism and such – and with the terrible threat to the environment that’s hanging over the beloved Karoo, it’s as well to remember exactly what it is that those of us whom the denialists condescendingly call ‘greens’ are so keen to protect.

And that would be – life itself.

Maybe we are the only populated planet in the universe, and maybe we aren’t – but the reality is that we have only this one planet, and we’re fools to want to kill it.
