A few days ago Whitaker recommended the book Divided Planet: The Ecology of Rich and Poor, by Tom Athanasiou There is an interesting interview with Athanasiou at: http://www.zmag.org/zmag/articles/dec96jensen.htm from the interview: "There are a lot of reasons for the [sc. ecological] gridlock, but one, in particular, is too rarely noted. It is simply that, because of the class structure of this society, because of the vast separation between the haves and the have nots, we have a situation in which, by and large, those with their hands on or even close to the levers of power are insulated by that power from the conditions of life, as many, many people experience them. Indigenous peoples, the poor in both northern and southern countries, most people of color, women, children, nonhumans these are not, by and large, the groups with the power." (but concerning "nonhumans" - how about genetically modified killer tomatoes?)
