We are the weather : saving the planet begins at breakfast / Jonathan Safran Foer.

By: Publisher: London : Penguin Books, 2019Description: 272 pages ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9780241363331 : (hbk.)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 333.72 23
Contents:
Unbelievable -- How to prevent the greatest dying -- Only home -- Dispute with the soul -- More life
Summary: "Most books about the environmental crisis are densely academic, depressingly doom-laden, and crammed with impersonal statistics. We Are the Weather is different--accessible, immediate, and with a single clear solution that individual readers can put into practice straight away. A significant proportion of global carbon emissions come from farming meat. Giving up meat is incredibly hard and nobody is perfect--but just cutting back is much easier and still has a huge positive effect on the environment. Just changing our dinners--cutting out meat for one meal per day--is enough to change the world. With his distinctive wit, insight, and humanity, Foer frames this essential debate as no one else could, bringing it to vivid and urgent life." - Book cover
