Thanks to Scribner Books for the free copy of this book.
- THE SERVICEBERRY is a meditation on community reciprocity. Kimmerer uses the serviceberry as a jumping off point, exploring how the ways the berry is woven into the ecosystem can teach us to do the same.
- Kimmerer talks about not only how a gift economy can benefit humanity at a large scale, but also the many small ways we are already doing it: Buy Nothing groups, Little Free Libraries, sharing extra garden produce, and more.
- I think if you are really committed to getting involved mutual aid and your community, this is a must read.
