About All We Can Save
All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis is an anthology of essays, poetry, and art by a diverse group of women “at the forefront of the fight against the climate crisis—harnessing truth, summoning courage, and offering solutions to lead humanity forward.” A beautifully written book, All We Can Save illuminates why we need to find solutions to the climate crisis. Doing so can help us build a society of racial justice, better living conditions, and more equitable distribution of scarce resources. The book comprises powerful storytelling from women who represent a range of different perspectives.
