31. But they had no such concern about the near stranglehold of corporations
on our politics, the increasingly sinister intrusions of the military and paramilitary
organizations, or the surveillance apparatus in our daily lives.
32. See John Ehrenfeld’s useful discussion of “adaptive governance” (Ehrenfeld,
2008, pp. 182–196).
33. Pollan (2008).
34. The best description of resilience is still that of Lovins (1982), chapter 13; see

2. Ewen (1976), pp. 160–161; Ewen (1988), pp. 267–268; and Leach (1993),
pp. 319–322.
3. For a good updating of Bernays, see Benjamin Barber’s description of the
infantilization of consumers in Barber (2007), pp. 81–115; Hamilton (2004)
proposes beginning “by imposing restrictions on the quantity and nature of
marketing messages, by fi rst banning advertising and sponsorship from all
public spaces and restricting advertising time on television and radio . . . tax
laws could be changed so that costs of advertising are no longer a deductible
business expense” (2004, p. 219).

press during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. They lapped up everything
the Pentagon and the White House could dish out—no questions asked”
(2006, p. 135).
9. Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Peter Whybrow (2005, p. 253) explains the
emergence of decline of constraints on envy and greed as a “vicious cycle”
that arises thus: “during times of great abundance, unless the prudence of frontal
lobe reasoning imposes collective constraint through cultural agreement,
human social behavior will run away to greed as the brain’s ancient centers of
instinctual self-preservation engage in a frenzy of self-reward.”

Climate Legacy Project at the Vermont Law School.
