Bright Green Lies<\/strong>\u00a0(Monkfish Book Publishing, 2021) grumbles and growls like a rambunctious thunderstorm on an early spring day opening up darkened clouds of acid rain across the world of environmentalism, including celebrated personalities.<\/p>\n

According to Bright Green Lies authors Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith, and Max Wilbert: \u201cWe are writing this book because we want our environmental movement back.\u201d As such, they charge ahead with daggers drawn, similar to Planet of the Humans (2019-20), nobody spared.<\/p>\n

As explained therein, Rachel Carson\u2019s Silent Spring (1962) brought on the environmental movement as well as the establishment of the EPA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act. She did not call for \u201csaving civilization,\u201d which is the common rallying cry today (\u201cCivilizations Last Chance\u201d by Bill McKibben or Lester Brown, \u201cThe Race to Save Civilization\u201d). Rachel Carson called for \u201csaving nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s environmental movement stands upon the shoulders of giants, but something has gone terribly wrong\u2026 Mainstream environmentalists now overwhelmingly prioritize saving industrial civilization over saving life on the planet.\u201d (pgs 26-27)<\/p>\n

Losing the essence of environmentalism is part of the true grit of Bright Green Lies, a smart book that fascinates and teases the mind with solid usage of the \u201claws of physics\u201d as it drills down into the depths of the nuts and bolts of green energy, renewable devices, and how this dream of Green has gone off track.<\/p>\n

Bright Green Lies is a very controversial book within the environmental community because it is \u201cdeep green\u201d in the sense that their argument leaves almost no room for modern-day civilization, and it is overly critical of today\u2019s brand of environmentalists.<\/p>\n
