Book excerpt: Gessner makes a frank and funny case for a new environmentalism, cautioning us against the modern pitfalls of holier-than-thou posturing, capitalist green vendors, and fractured special-interest groups. He also suggests that global problems, though real, are disempowering, arguing instead for a movement focused on local issues and grounded in a more basic defense of home.
