Abstract:
Sarah reached out to women around the world who are tirelessly working to repair our climate. They are scientists, policymakers, journalists, lawyers, activists, professors, researchers, and organizers. Their lives are absorbed in seeking solutions. Here they walk readers through the steps to change. They show us what we can-- and must-- do for our future. Their advice? Do the work. Join an organization. Ask for help. And most important, get into nature. -- adapted from Introduction.
