Sustainable Book Group: "Saving Us" on Zoom
7:00 pm-8:00 pmRegister here: https://www.sustainablecharlottevt.org/events/book-discussion-saving-us
In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action. This is not another doomsday narrative about a planet on fire. It is a multilayered look at science, faith, and human psychology, from an icon in her field—recently named chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy.
Drawing on interdisciplinary research and personal stories, Hayhoe shows that small conversations can have astonishing results. Saving Us leaves us with the tools to open a dialogue with your loved ones about how we all can play a role in pushing forward for change.
Copies available at the circulation desk. Co-sponsored with Sustainable Charlotte.
