Hi everyone! We are all systems go! I'm excited to announce that my book, Climate Action for Busy People, is now shipping! It'll also be on shelves at your local bookstore starting June 18! Climate Action for Busy People is for anyone with a case of the climate "bubble guts"- that churning anxiety that comes from rising temperatures, flooded streets, and an uncertain future. It offers a practical, hopeful roadmap for boosting climate preparedness at the local level, from small weekend projects like clearing the storm drain in front of your home to advocating for local change through coalition-building. It’s filled with actionable insights drawn from real-world success in climate adaptation and community organizing. I wrote Climate Action for Busy People��for those who are busy working, caregiving, studying, and keeping up with domestic tasks but still want to help. It's quick read and has something for anyone who wants a safer, cleaner, greener future. I invite you to buy your copy now! https://lnkd.in/ed5Jkecc Please share this post with your networks! And if you're in Metro-Boston, join me at the official launch at Porter Square Books on June 18 at 7pm! Be well and I hope we get to connect, soon.
