Maya Penn: Eco Revolution, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A humanized and eye-opening journey through the past, present, and future of one of the most crucial topics of our time: Climate change.

This is a time unlike any other in human history. With the ever-growing threat of the climate crisis looming and putting the whole world on the edge of its seat, we have not only entered into a brand new once-in-a-generation era of social and environmental justice advocacy --- but the deep-rooted overlap between environmental crises and inequities that have been spotlighted in an unprecedented elevation of awareness.

This book chronicles untold sustainability history, highlights the stories of unsung eco-warrior heroes, and shares solutions for a more sustainable and equitable world. With 15 years of hands-on experience in the environmental activism space, award-winning environmental activist Maya Penn's unique voice has become one of the most sought after.

Eco Revolution explores our collective connection to the natural world through inherited ecology and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) passed down through indigenous cultures throughout the world as people worked in partnership with naturally occurring ecosystems to create thriving, functional societies and how this has translated to our modern understanding about sustainability.

Penn will take a comprehensive look at the current green movements around the world and how sustainable living can be reclaimed via the work of these groups, and the ways in which we can deploy creativity to bring about real change. Finally, readers will be confronted by the future---and how we can remain optimistic in the midst of looming crisis.
