Hard Green |
Peter Huber wrote this right-wing book, subtitling it "Saving the Environment from the Environmentalists (A Conservative Manifesto)" His strong defense of hard green, as opposed to soft green, reveal that in fact many environmental steps taken are more harmful than helpful for the environment. For example, Huber clearly states a repeated number of times that wealth is green. This website is devoted to explaining and defending the ideas of the radical Peter Huber. This project is for Mr. Sehulster's TUV AP Environmental Science. |

One theory advocated by Peter Huber is that of "wealth is green." Although initially I had little faith in these words, believing that the poorer people of the world that lived in "natural" environments, occupying little space and eating little food than than the overfed, overdressed capitalists of America, I gradually began to change my opinions. The belief that wealth is green is given in a long proof by Huber, describing the basic human needs that come first in our lives. It is, too put it simply, the wealthy man who will want to turn his mind to other things, such as the world he inhabits. Nobody wants to live in filth and muck; the difference is that the rich man can to make a change while the poor man lives with what he has and can obtain. It is possible that bothtypes of people want a cleaner, prettier world to live in. However, the poor man simply cannot care about what fuels he uses or where he throws his trash away. It is a more primtive "dog eat dog" world at that level, whereas the rich man has time for recreation, and enjoying life in the aesthetic facet. Bibliography DeWeese, Tom.
