 Bleury North exit)\nĀ \nThe Conundrum is a mind-changing manifesto about th
 e environment\, efficiency and the real path to sustainability. \nĀ \nHybri
 d cars\, fast trains\, compact florescent light bulbs\, solar panels\, car
 bon offsets: Everything you've been told about living green is wrong. The 
 quest for a breakthrough battery or a 100 mpg car are dangerous fantasies.
  We are consumers\, and we like to consume green and efficiently. But Davi
 d Owen argues that our best intentions are still at cross purposes to our 
 true goal - living sustainably and caring for our environment and the futu
 re of the planet. Efficiency\, once considered the holy grail of our envir
 onmental problems\, turns out to be part of the problem. Efforts to improv
 e efficiency and increase sustainable development only exacerbate the prob
 lems they are meant to solve\, more than negating the environmental gains.
  We have little trouble turning increases in efficiency into increases in 
 consumption.\nĀ \nDavid Owen's The Conundrum is an elegant nonfiction narra
 tive filled with fascinating information and anecdotes takes you through t
 he history of energy and the quest for efficiency. This is a book about th
 e environment that will change how you look at the world. We should not be
  waiting for some geniuses to invent our way out of the energy and economi
 c crisis we're in. We already have the technology and knowledge we need to
  live sustainably. But will we do it?\nĀ \nThat is the conundrum.\nĀ \nAdmis
