The Legacy of Luna: The Story of a Tree, a Woman, and the Struggle to Save the Redwoods | Julia Butterfly Hill

pick

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

This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs. The Climate | Naomi Klein

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.

Paradise for Sale: A Parable of Nature | Carl N. McDaniel, John M. Gowdy

pick

A coral island near the equator, #Nauru had a thick layer of phosphate exploited by western cultures and wreaking havoc on the local environment. Combining environmental science, anthropology, and economics, this book looks at the island nation in the context of the larger world and how events there could presage the future for humanity. Fascinating and sobering.

Librarybelle It does sound like a sobering read 3mo

squirrelbrain I‘ve just started a fiction book for the #nauru prompt that includes the Detention Centre @LeeRHarry

On Fragile Waves

Hooked_on_books @LeeRHarry Ongoing exploitation! What a surprise. This book is from just over 20 years ago and the loss of phosphate money plus overpopulation pressures were showing. I wonder if that helped to push them into deciding to “host” the detention center. 3mo

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain That sounds really interesting. I look forward to your review. 3mo
