Earthshot provides a really useful array of ideas for tackling the climate crisis and I loved reading about new, current scientific breakthroughs (Let's get cows eating seaweed!) Definitely gives you a lot to think through, but it's very accessible.
Initially I was skeptical about the optimistic spin of this book, which I felt could be pacifying, and it's focus toward the end on individual action, which could be erroneously laying the blame on the masses rather than the few. I do think this book could have touched more on what the state could do to hold businesses more accountable, however, I was largely won over. Earthshot is well written to inspire action and not despondency.
Recommend for anyone looking to get an up to date overview on our biggest climate challenges and what different countries are currently trying to do, or anyone looking for ideas of projects they could get started on.
