We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe problem is, none of this--whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics--will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs sustainability veteran Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. We have become somehow complicit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchendler meets this profound contradiction head-on--with a bracing critique, moving personal stories of parenthood and service, and innovative, real-world methods to tackle climate change at the corporate, community, and individual levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTerrible Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique and inspiring call for a new environmentalism, showing us that the key to saving the planet is to tap into our own humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuden Schendler\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Vice President of Sustainability at Aspen Skiing Company, where he works on scale solutions to climate change, including clean-energy development, policy, advocacy, and activism.
