Eco-apartheid

For example, a nine-page entry on "Lifestyle" examines the connection between pollution and a consumer lifestyle and "eco-apartheid," the costs of material growth paid by the urban poor.

Using empirical evidence from the published literature, as well as the author's own practical experience conducting community-based participatory research in Berkeley, the author applies the eco-apartheid conceptual framework to the city of Berkely.

Humanity stands at a crossroad. One road continues on the path of eco-apartheid and eco-imperialism, of commodification of the earth, her resources and processes.

It is a call to arms to the readers, to take action in order to stop socio-environmental degradation and related eco-apartheids before it is too late and drastic measures (such as sabotaging dams) need to be taken.
