This book majorly speaks about the "New Green Republic", which is, basically, a global society created by a global "ecological civilization". This, as the book says, is possible regardless of the state, type of government, or existence or non-existence of democracy. Just like many other revolutions, it is possible to have a revolution that will bring an end to pollution and create a new, pollution-free earth. This, as stated prior, will not discriminate against any place regardless of what type of government there is; China — whose Communist Party's way of ruling is widely frowned upon — is the leading advocate for clean energy and environmental conservation. They are the leading manufacturers and adopters of clean energy — for example, solar and electric vehicles — in the world.

What I loved about The New Green Republic by Roy Morrison is its style of message delivery. The book has been written in form of a dialogue between six participants with different careers, experiences, and ideas. The six people — Sam Morrison, Bob Irving, Ruth Johnson, Phil Clark, Wang Li, and Meagan Simons — all table their different perspectives. By doing so, the author has been able to explain and expound on his ideas from different viewpoints. For example, Pentti Aalto, a mechanical engineer and an expert in energy systems and energy markets, explains how the carbon components from the electric grid can be contributed to the "three tons per person per year" carbon dioxide target from his line of expertise and understanding.

The book is amazing because of the idea it suggests. I wholly agree with the author's line of ideas, and a total ecological civilization is indeed possible. I also agree that a global revolution is necessary if this is to happen — like the Black Lives Matter demonstrations that condemned racism or even the French revolution. I also think it's time for everyone all over the world to stand up against the individuals, corporates, and governments that commit ecological injustices. If this was done, an Ecological Economic Growth (EEC) will be the inevitable benefit that will be reaped, which will in turn be worthwhile and constructive in the long run.

The book has no negative aspects about it. The ideas are fluidly presented, and I also like the conversational style that the author has used. Furthermore, I've not come across any errors, so the book has been perfectly edited. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars, and I find nothing that can make me give a lower rating.

I recommend the book to enthusiasts of environmental preservation. This book will resonate with those who feel the need to stop pollution and global warming.

While I resonate with the author's wish for better environmental preservation, in my opinion the notion of the book is a bit too idealistic. I think that a spark of some sort is always required for a revolution to occur. However, I appreciate the author for sharing his well-informed views. Thank you for the review
