dayofrebecca 's review for:

We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer

2.75

hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

---

I have so many mixed feelings about this book - very easy to read (in most parts) and lots of fun facts (not just about climate change) but at times it was self-serving (one of the longest chapters is a conversation with his own soul???? like c'mon!), hope-less and provided no productive or actionable steps to reduce our own carbon footprint

(other than going vegan, which he himself struggles with!!!!)

I was hoping for more actions given the fact the tagline is Saving the planet begins at breakfast.

I'm not sure if I will recommend this book to others but I am glad I read it and,

as a vegan, I'm feeling pretty chuffed with my contributions.
