More About This Book

Overview

The environmental tipping point we approach is more palpable each day; we can no longer ignore the effects of pollution, climate change, deforestation, or species extinction. But once we accept that environmental upheaval may be just around the corner, how do we live our lives right now? How can we replace despair with hope, apathy with action?

Hope Beneath Our Feet contains essential tools, both practical and spiritual, for those who care about our world and those who are just now realizing they need to care. Featuring essays by people from all walks of life-prominent environmentalists, artists, CEOs, grassroots activists, religious figures, and indigenous leaders among them-Hope Beneath Our Feet presents diverse strategies for creating change in ourselves, our communities, and the world.
