Synopsis

Provocative and illuminating essays from women at the forefront of the climate movement who are harnessing truth, courage, and solutions to lead humanity forward.
 
There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. While it’s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial table. More than a problem of bias, it’s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone.
 
All We Can Save illuminates the expertise and insights of dozens of diverse women leading on climate in the United States—scientists, journalists, farmers, lawyers, teachers, activists, innovators, wonks, and designers, across generations, geographies, and race—and aims to advance a more representative, nuanced, and solution-oriented public conversation on the climate crisis. These women offer a spectrum of ideas and insights for how we can rapidly, radically reshape society.
 
This book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, the book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save.

This audiobook includes a PDF of climate resources and references.

Goodreads review by Andrea on September 22, 2020

*108th climate book* To begin with: I can't claim to be unbiased or a disinterested observer (but, no one can). No one reads 108 books about climate change without deep investment, and most of the contributors in this collection I am already familiar with; if not in books, then in newsletters, articl......more

Goodreads review by Tom on December 22, 2020

A few months ago a friend of mine asked if I wanted to be part of what she called her “circle” to read and discuss a book she really, really liked. She's always up to something interesting and I like reading so what the heck, yeah, sure. And that’s how I found myself reading this "characteristically......more

Goodreads review by Nick on September 27, 2020

Woof. What a tour de force. I've heard some people call this a book about female climate people, which somewhat misses the point. It's a book about massive suffering and our capacity to mitigate it; about hurricanes and soil, monarchs and whales, Miami realtors and Indian migrants; about fear and ho......more

Goodreads review by Steve on July 26, 2021

Wow! Buy it, read it, share it ... and repeat. Powerful stuff on climate change - no, the climate crisis, an important ... no, the dominant issue of our age (and our future). And one of the better tools for getting one's mind wrapped around the breadth and scope and pervasiveness of the environmen......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on October 05, 2020

Netgalley review. I was super excited about this book because I think it discussed the climate crises we are living in with the urgency we should have. I also really appreciated that the movement gave credit to where credit is due, emphasizing that the representation we have in activism wrongly cent......more
