“An absolutely essential read for anyone who still has hope that humanity can save itself from the wreck it has made of this beautiful world. First you cry, then you act!” --Bette Midler "It’s put together for folks like me, and maybe you, who are deeply concerned about the climate crisis, but are not scientists, don’t run alternative energy companies, and can easily start to feel overwhelmed by all the ways that we could/should move forward to make a difference?a place where fear of doing the work in the wrong way keeps us from doing anything beyond sticking with the status quo. The book is loaded with real life, eminently learnable tips, tools, and visuals. It’s both fun, and informative." --Ari Weinzweig, bestselling author and co-founder of Zingerman’s “I really love what the Carbon Almanac Network has done. Totally geeked out over it yesterday. Echoes of the educational part of the Whole Earth Catalog for a new generation.” --Scott Omelianuk, Editor in Chief, Inc. Magazine “An approachable, hopeful guide to a subject that is otherwise paralyzingly scary. A tonic for inaction and a bid to save our species and the only planet capable of sustaining it in the entire universe.” --Cory Doctorow, bestselling author “The book is just fantastic. I think it’s going to be a huge success, by which I mean to break out of the silo and perhaps cause a shift in a larger public discourse. That would be the absolute best outcome, of course.” --Iva Kravitz, Owner, The Iva Agency, and Member, Committee on the Environment, AIA New York
