A firsthand, trench-view story of the failure of the modern environmental movement-and an inspiring prescription for change. Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. The problem is, none of this-whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics-will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril. As sustainability veteran Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. We have become somehow complicit. But there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?Schendler meets this profound contradiction head-on-with a bracing critique, moving personal stories of parenthood and service, and innovative, real-world methods to tackle climate change at the corporate, community, and individual levels. Terrible Beauty is a unique and inspiring call for a new environmentalism, showing us that the key to saving the planet is to tap into our own humanity.

Great, but bring your own inserts.
Size: 24x7.9, Color: Black
These work great, easy to install. Happy with them. Only problem was the instructions say don’t use the include inserts on wallboard, which meant I had to go out and purchase my own. That’s OK, because I like to use inserts I trust.

Love the shelves, great quality and design. They are very sturdy and perfect for my need. I ordered wine glass holders from Amazon and attached them to the shelves. Impressed and amazed at the look.

Great shelves!
Color: Grey, Size: 55 Inch, Style: 2 Pack
This shelf is lovely--simple and modern. My handyman said it was easy to install AND made a note to buy it for his own rental units because he said the internal supports were very sturdy. Fast delivery and exactly as described--and the price is nice, too.

Good size and quality
Easy installation, been up on the wall for several months now and they're exactly what we were looking for. Pretty sturdy, good quality. First order of these came broken but they replaced them no problem.
