An original, engaging guide to creating a sustainable economy that will combat global warming while also improving our quality of life

AN ANCHOR ORIGINAL

Pick an environmental issue. Maybe air pollution, toxic waste, or deforestation. These all seem like solid choices, but none of these is actually an environmental problem--at least, not at its heart. Deep down, they are economic problems. Nearly all the issues we classify as environmental stem from defects in the DNA of America's current market system. This is emphatically true of our greatest environmental threat: global warming.

With a focus on climate change, journalist and author Robert S. Devine reveals the fundamental flaws in the economy that enable environmental degradation. The Sustainable Economy is a book about economics, but it skips the equations and eases through the jargon, opting instead for compelling stories and surprising humor. Readers will encounter high-tech narwhals, struggling coal workers, orbiting giant mirrors, the kids who are suing the U.S. government over climate policy, and vanishing Alaskan towns.

The Sustainable Economy looks at many of the most pressing climate issues, such as melting ice caps and farm-killing droughts, but by viewing them through the revealing lens of economics, the book delivers a fresh perspective. Devine shows how the basic mechanisms of supply and demand fail when it comes to global warming and the environment. Fortunately, he also lays out a path to an improved economy that can boost our well-being while also fostering a healthy environment. Most importantly, The Sustainable Economy shows how we can overcome the political and personal obstacles blocking progress toward a sustainable, just, and prosperous economy.

Great for sensitive skin protection
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I have very sensitive skin especially anything that has SPF in any amount over 15. Since I have had a few issues with skin cancer on and around my face I needed something that had a greater SPF rating. This has worked great! I have not had any allergic reaction to it! It goes on smoothly, not heavy and provides good protection.

Fantastic sunscreen!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
This stuff is worth the price. We use it daily. It goes on clean, not greasy. Smells great and provides excellent sun protection. We’ve used it at the beach on occasion and it protects for several hours. I am exposed to sun for many hours at work and this provides great protection for my face. It IS expensive, however, one pump applied to my face is enough to protect my face for many hours at work. I usually apply one to each arm as well. I’ve yet to find something that goes on as well, smells great and leaves your skin feeling moisturized while adding great protection. In my opinion it is worth the price.

Effective sunscreen protection
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
This product goes on smooth under makeup or by itself. It works great! I have applied the sunscreen at 8:00 in the morning and been in and out of the sun throughout the day and received no sunburn. I felt confident my skin was protected all day.

Wonderful sunscreen, but pricey
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I love this sunscreen. I use it as a daily moisturizer for my face and hands. After I gently rub it on, my skin looks more supple without any greasy residue. I've been using it for years, and I'm told that I look younger than my age (68). And not just from those who are looking to complement me, but from my new dermatologist. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that its current price is out of my league. But for those who can afford it, EltaMD is a winner.

The best sunscreen I’ve ever tried!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
Disclaimer: I have used many different sunscreens and brands without finding anything I really liked. First time using Elta MD UV clear sunscreen and I am in love with it. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and avoid chemical sunscreens because they burn my skin. The moment I put on this sunscreen it was creamy and unscented. It really absorbed into my skin and left no greasy residue. A few minutes after applying I was able to touch my face with no residue or product coming off on my hand. I do find this product a tad expensive but I feel that it is worth the price and it will be my go to sunscreen.
