Washington D.C. Environmental Columnist Edward Flattau’s Fourth Book An Urgent Call To Make Environmentalism a Moral and Economic Priority

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (May 5, 2010) – Edward Flattau, the nation’s longest running syndicated environmental newspaper columnist, will release his fourth book, “Green Morality”, this September. The book, an illustrated hardcover non-fiction, is the culmination of research from Flattau’s forty-year career that explores the immoral underbelly of the earth’s ongoing and escalating environmental crisis.

Published by Los Angeles independent social issues press, The Way Things Are Publications, “Green Morality” analyzes manmade global environmental atrocities supporting a theme that environmentalism must become a universal moral imperative to avert long-term environmental destruction. Flattau discusses topics ranging from corporate and industrial environmental immorality to failed public policies, and corrupt or immobilized political leaders. The book advocates a re-alignment of modern society’s value system and economic infrastructure in order to avert environmental destruction and create an environmentally and economically sustainable society.

“Mr. Flattau’s distinguished 40-year career has chronicled the highs and lows of the environmental movement,” said Jennifer Havenner, Director of Publishing for The Way Things Are Publications. “It is a privilege to publish this timely book that calls upon each and every one of us to face up to the environmental crises for no other reasons than it is the right thing to do—and we’ll pay dearly if we don’t. The atrocities brought to light in Flattau’s discourse are punctuated by a fearless analysis of mankind’s moral duty to stop the reckless endangerment of our environment. It is an importantly eminent message that I believe the world needs to hear.”

“Green Morality” includes a preface by renowned environmentalist William A. Butler of Georgetown University and we be available in all major bookstores and online September, 2010.
