Summary

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.

Intermixing essays with poetry and art, 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.

Incredible book

This book filled me with so much hope, inspiration, knowledge, passion, empathy and wisdom. I love how it is put together weaving poetry, experiences and scientific facts. I bought the book which is stunning but have a three year old and was finding it difficult to find time to sit and read so I’m so glad there is this audio version that is beautifully read. I wish everyone could read/listen to it.

Beside the sex bias is a great book

This is a really good book. Excellence performance and insightful thoughts. It does explain the same issue from several different prospectives. Informative and scientific. Terrific book. It’s a pity the sex bias in some of the essays.

Heartbreaking, heartwarming, eye-opening & hopeful

An absolute must read for...everyone.

I've learnt a lot, had other things I'd thought confirmed, been sadly unsurprisingly heartbroken and yet pleasantly surprised by hopeful stories and messages and people and communities and initiatives with regards to a potentially brighter future despite the climate crisis.

It gives me hope for my daughter and my son and it reinvigorates me with regards to my own environmental studies and my individual actions.

Thanks to you all!
