Honestly could not have asked for a better book to get me back into the world of activism. Sufficiently detailed but not overwhelming, and well explained concepts with links to external sources of information to develop knowledge further and to get involved with communities. I wish I had read it sooner.

“Social Justice and a green economy can and should coexist.”
Yet another amazing reminder about the importance of intersectionality and the idea that the goals of environmentalism and the goals of social justice are linked. 
Think critically about how we address the climate crisis. Just because something is marketed or promotes as “sustainable/green/clean,” does not mean that it comes without fault or without the potential to harm people/nature. Listen to and promote indigenous voices and processes.

A lot to process and a lot more resources to look into (lists in the back) but a great read if you want an overview of Intersectional Environmentalism and where to turn next
