Fantastic listen. Should be required reading.
Ritchie is an Enviro Scientist and Data Analyst with a passion for writing. She combines her skills to deliver a clear eyed state of the climate that cuts through sensationalist headlines and sits in the facts with a fresh, hopeful perspective. She never sugar coats things, where the situation is bad she tells you just how bad it is, but she also shows how we can, and often are, making things better.

TheKidUpstairs Highly recommended. Especially if you, like me, can feel overwhelmed by the climate crisis. Yes, things are bad, and yes, they could get worse, but there is also real reason to hope that things can get better and work towards that end. Ritchie gives clear information on what actions can make the biggest impact, where to stress more, and where to perhaps stress a little less. 1d

For the first time in a while, I feel fully engaged in and excited about everything I'm reading!

Audio - Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie. I feel like this should be required reading. I'm going to need to buy a copy to revisit!

Physical - All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld. I don't think there's an author out there who writes such wonderfully messy women. I'm loving it.

Happy Earth Day! Let's share #middlegrademonday books about the #environment today!

Wayward Creatures is a sweet story of friendship that happens when the main character is sentenced to restorative justice work in a park after starting a forest fire near his home.

What others have you read that fit the category???

sblbooks I haven't read anything in this category, but Wildoak is on my TBR. 1w
Karisimo I really liked Wildoak too! 1w
Karisimo Wild oak has some similarities to Wayward creatures in that both have kids that befriend a wild animal 1w

While on a Louisiana road trip, I stopped at The Conundrum bookstore in St. Francisville. It had a perfect reading area and friendly atmosphere. #independentbookstore

Amazing story of a young woman and a tree. Julia Butterfly spent more than 700 days in Luna to save it from the logging industry. She peacefully fought big business and violent loggers at times. Over her time in Luna, she had visits from celebrities building publicity to the tree. Some of her colleagues in protest lost their lives, while Julia stayed in the tree as long as it took, until it was guaranteed it would not be cut.

Scochrane26 I‘ve had this book for many years but haven‘t reread in so long. Thought it had been forgotten! My roommate at the time read it for a class & told me to read it. I sometimes wonder if the tree is still standing & what she‘s doing now. (edited) 2mo
Cosmos_Moon @Scochrane26 I wondered when I was reading this so had to do some googling… she is still an activist and Luna is still there! She has not done another 2 year tree sit, though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_(tree)#:~:text=Luna%20is.... (edited) 2mo
Scochrane26 @Cosmos_Moon Thanks for the info! 2mo

Currently reading This Changes Everything and feeling like my book club hates me. Over 400 pages of doom ahead of me I‘m afraid. Not like it‘s not important, but it‘s what I already know. Why did everyone vote for this?!

But on a sweeter note…it‘s Nova‘s first photo bomb. I‘ll never be mad at a cute dog photo bomb.
