This is a great intro into climate change activism for young people. As a 31 year old, it is a bit embarrassing to say that I am just now taking activism seriously and realizing the power my voice can have. For someone that doesn't have much clue about activist groups or causes, this is a great little stepping stone to learn about someone who has been a voice for climate change at a young age. If you are a person that has been about that life for sometime, this might be a bit too surface level for you. 

Xiuhtezcatl explains big issues in an easy way to understand. He shares his experiences with being a young activist, as well as the burnout he felt throughout the years. It was great to see him use music as another element to stay motivated in activism and reach other people. I am a firm believer that music is powerful and can change people, I'm happy to see a young person use their talents for such causes.

A very short read. I listened to the audio book, and definitely recommend hearing the author's own voice as they speak about this topic.

Martinez makes some great points about the connections between issues like climate change and race and oppression. This book makes me want to research the problems more and get more involved with activism. It seems so intimidating to me though, and I really don't know where to start. But I'm definitely intrigued and want to do something, especially as I get closer to being out of school and have the time and energy to devote to things.
