Ric Hudgens rejects “creation care” and looks for more radical human solutions to the global environmental crisis. If humans don’t find ways to give the land the rest it needs, he says, the earth will survive beyond our species and have its sabbath.

It’s not enough to feel better about our consumptive lifestyles by recycling and riding our bicycles. It’s time to take steps to drastically reduce our consumption and our impact on the planet. Hudgens finds hope in the “energy descent” and “resilience” envisioned through the Transition Towns movement.
