Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility by Rebecca Solnit, Thelma Young Lutunatabua
3.5
hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

Despair is a self-fulfilling prophecy; it blocks us from taking agency, which makes it all the more likely that our worst fears will come to pass.

A nice change of pace to read climate nonfiction through the lens of hope and belief in the power of humanity. 

Takeaways for me, lots of inspiring quotes about having hope in the face of adversity that is also important fighting for the rights of Palestinians. Pacific Islander communities are on the forefront of climate change and we need to listen to their experiences and solutions. 

A bit repetitive however great selection of contributors!
