Basically it was Big Auto, Big Oil and Big Government. The public was complicit too.
Everyone who cares about our planet should see the film. It’s 90 minutes long and I guarantee that your blood will reach the boiling point by the end...
The e-Book version is the same as the paperback version except the illustrations are in color in the e-book.
