We Are The Weather
Recommended By
Jonathan Safran Foer's most recent book is considered, thought-provoking and inspiring. It explores climate change and the human condition, urging the move from knowledge to empathy and action. It is ultimately hopeful.
In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves—with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home. And it all starts with what we eat—and don’t eat—for breakfast.
