All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis | Book Picks

  “A powerful read that fills one with, dare I say . . . hope?”

~The New York Times, "Five Climate Books from 2020"
‍

“My heart is moved by all I cannot save:
so much has been destroyed
I have to cast my lot with those
who age after age, perversely,
with no extraordinary power,
reconstitute the world.”

~Adrienne Rich,“Natural Resources"

Truth, Courage, Solutions. Isn't that what we are all looking for? Learn from contemporary voices in the environmental movement, people from all industries and walks of life who are thinking through the puzzle of climate change together. Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Smithsonian Magazine, All We Can Save is a collection of provocative and illuminating essays (and poetry and art) from women at the forefront of the climate movement who are harnessing truth, courage, and solutions to lead humanity forward.

‍

There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. More and more, the voices of women and girls are part of the conversation, a dynamic which sets us up for success. To change everything, we need everyone.

‍

"All We Can Save illuminates the expertise and insights of dozens of diverse women leading on climate in the United States--scientists, journalists, farmers, lawyers, teachers, activists, innovators, wonks, and designers, across generations, geographies, and race--and aims to advance a more representative, nuanced, and solution-oriented public conversation on the climate crisis. These women offer a spectrum of ideas and insights for how we can rapidly, radically reshape society.

‍

Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, the book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save."
