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

3.0

I really liked his book eating animals but this book… I didn't love. Perhaps it's because ten years later, I'm a different human being but his call for individual change just doesn't move me in this context. I do believe that individual choices are important and that we should do our parts whether it be reducing our meat consumption, our electricity usage, recycling and composting… Yet, all of these things are small drops in the bucket compared to sweeping national and international policies that we need to truly combat climate change. We cannot save the planet by individually choosing to eat plant based diets—we need policy change.
