pickettbri 's review for:
Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet
by Bonnie Wright
I liked this book so much more than I thought I would. I chose to get an early galley because I like Bonnie Wright and I also enjoy furthering my knowledge on sustainability and environmental causes. No matter where you're at in your journey to lessen your environmental footprint, this book will have something for you. In its pages you'll find a mix of informative pieces, short interviews with activists, scientists, and others, as well as suggestions for taking action. My favorite part of the interviews was the question she finishes every one with: what gives you hope? Sometimes it feels so hopeless as we hear about the latest climate news, but there are so many reasons to think positive within this book.
Bonnie does a great job of looking at all sides of climate justice. I especially appreciated her intersectional approach; she talks about how climate change disproportionally affects those who are socioeconomically and racially in the minority and how we cannot make positive change without dismantling systems of oppression, as all systems overlap and impact one another.
My most favorite thing about reading this book happened by chance. I initially thought I was just getting a good refresher on things I was mostly aware of. But as I read, I realized that when my brain wandered, I was considering new things to put into practice to help further the fight for climate justice. Thanks to Bonnie, I'm going to start a compost bin this summer.
