Environmentalism of the Rich

Summary:

The book critically examines how affluent individuals and corporations often promote a brand of environmentalism that aligns with their interests, focusing on consumer choices and market-based solutions rather than systemic change. It explores the paradox of increased environmental awareness and consumer eco-friendliness alongside the relentless pursuit of economic growth, which continues to strain the planet's resources.

Key points:

1. Eco-consumerism: Dauvergne says buying "green" products often only helps a little and can make people think they're doing more than they are. It's also mostly for the rich, which can make environmentalism unequal.
