A hopeful, inspiring, and honest take on the environment
Yes, the world faces substantial environmental challenges ā climate change, pollution, and extinction. But the surprisingly good news is that we have solutions to these problems.

Providing a powerful antidote to environmental despair, this book inspires optimism, leading readers to take action and exemplifying how change can happen. A bright green future is not only possible, itās within our grasp.
