{"product_id":"estado-do-planeta-0","title":"STATE OF THE PLANET, 0","description":"THE STATE OF THE PLANET - CONSUMER SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION Carlos Gabaglia Penna If all the inhabitants of Earth had the same standard of living as the inhabitants of London, it would take three planets to provide the resources to meet all their needs. Not long ago, everyone's image of the future was of a time of technological advancement and equilibrium. Today, the idea is of a world in conflict over natural resources. This topic is extensively discussed by Carlos Gabaglia Penna in his book CONSUMER SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION, where he demonstrates that industrial society is on a collision course with Earth's ecosystems and natural resources. As humans increasingly use these resources, it creates a series of environmental problems that make the current model increasingly difficult to survive. The only solution to this problem is sustainable development. A viable path, but one whose exact operation is unclear. Because industrial and consumer society has so strongly encouraged the idea that having is more than being, the book \"SOCIETY OF CONSUMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION\" is a crucial reminder that it is still possible to do something to ensure a better world for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Carlos Gabaglia Penna, a Rio native, is a civil engineer with a degree in Business Administration. He holds postgraduate degrees from UERJ in Sanitary and Environmental Engineering and from Tufts University in Boston in Environmental Management. He is a professor of Civil Engineering at PUC-Rio, where he teaches Environment and Sustainable Development. He is also the technical director of the Brazilian Committee of the United Nations Environment Programme.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159585538300,"sku":"9788501056863","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/3f25fbff7cac5d0004119c505804ef6c_c524179e-a8fd-41ac-9dc4-e5caccc10ec7.jpg?v=1778317681","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/estado-do-planeta-0","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
