ISBN: 9781848139756 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fly and Be Damned gets underneath the well-known facts about the unsustainable nature of the aviation industry and argues for fundamental change to our traveling habits.

Instead, it urges us to concentrate on existing policies and tools by showing how the development of carbon markets could...

ISBN: 9780415501088 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human well-being relies critically on ecosystem services provided by nature.

This in turn not only impacts human well-being, but also seriously undermines the sustainability of the economic system. It is against this...
