Climate Change Activists Speak Up



USA Writer, photographs from various sources  Deborah Hart  Guarding Eden – Champions of Climate Action  Allen & Unwin 2015 $22.99pb 250pp  IBSN 978 1 7601 1235 6

Themes: Climate Change/ Environmental issues

Twelve caring people from diverse sections of the community speak out on their feelings about climate change – and what ordinary people can do about it. The twelve in the book are all climate change activists and include a vet, a teacher, a nurse, and an insurance broker. There is surprising humour in some of the stories as we read about ordinary people doing extraordinary things for the cause in which they believe so passionately. However, underneath it all is the dark whisper that unless something is done on a major scale NOW it is already almost too late.
