If we all are naysayers (or listen to them), we may as well give up. It’s so important to remain hopeful. We’re living in such terrible times environmentally. But if we do give up, what happens then?
Those that want to do will start drilling for more oil, and the planet will get hotter. More species will go extinct. There will be more droughts and floods and wildfires.
We owe to those who are suffering more than us, to keep going.
How do we do this? Why, read good books of course!
How to Be Hopeful reminds us that we can ignore the naysayers and just get on with the job of healing the planet.
If they don’t come with us, so be it. Perhaps their grandchildren will thank the environmentalists in 100 years.
This book is ideal for anyone campaigning for environmental justice or saving endangered species, in a world of politicians and big media that does not appear to care. Most of us do. Join us.
It’s not too late to stop climate change (but almost). But we do need a different way of living (not just replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy and nuclear). We need to slow down and simplify our lives. And to make that appealing to the masses, is the real answer.
An eco-tool for positivity
Nature is the Answer is by environmental and wildlife campaiger Chris Packham. Like the rest of us, he suffers with eco-anxiety but channels it into doing something for good. He even took the UK government to court (alas he lost) to try to stop HS2 high-speed train project decimating the forests and wildlife.
A qualified zoologist, Chris can use the scientific arguments to oppose everything from badgers full (they don’t stop bovine TV) to calling out climate change deniers.
