I'm incredibly grateful for this introduction to Anya Kamenetz! She is definitely an inspiration to us all and I support all of her views and actions.
I liked especially her urging us to PROTEST. This reminds me of the magnificent nonviolent activist Barbara Deming and her wonderful essays in "On Revolution and Equilibrium". If you haven't read her wok, then this pamphlet can be ordered through the War Resisters League.
I worked with Deming in the '60's and 70's, having joined the WRL because of pacifists like her. She and I worked together in the Civil Rights movement and against the Vietnam war. The cause of climate change that Anya Kamenetz eloquently advocates represents another urgent issue like those of racism and sexism that can be confronted through nonviolent civil disobedience. DD
I was happy to read the recommendation to Project Drawdown. I obtained my copy of their comprehensive report a few years ago and found it the single most valuable resource I have encountered for deciding what my own actions and advocacy should look like.
But the website is also a pot of gold for someone wanting to study up on what we can do do reverse climate change.
