Eaarthlings

Bill McKibben's newest book, Eaarth, wasn't as easy of a read as his last that I read. This book focused more on the harsh realities of our current situation- the state of our planet, how this has occurred over the past few decades, and what we can feasibly do about it. It was, essentially, depressing. Which is why it is so very important for people to start facing these realities, instead of continuing to pretend that they don't exist, or that they aren't effecting us.

Key points included moving away from unlimited growth as an economic ideal and learning how to turn towards local communities- which may be a bit repetitive, but at this point, absolutely necessary.
