Description: "This exciting third book from David Bristow covers everything environmental in South Africa that you always wanted to know about. The topics in this book include pesticides, poaching, petrol, plastics, population, pollination, pollution, pods, politics, pharmaceuticals, people, prophets, power and poop. Find out what industrially manufactured foods and large-scale farming are doing to us; how state capture has derailed our civil service and triggered sewerage spills, oil slicks and air pollution; who benefits most from health supplements; and what are the real costs of generating power and what works best - coal, nuclear, fracking, solar or wind." --Publisher's description.
