I have read more than one book about how to respond to climate change. Peter Kalmus's Being The Change has some truly excellent portions but I would not rate it as one of the best. He included some very good material and I enjoyed reading about the ways he adapted to a very low carbon lifestyle. However he veered off course I thought with his promotion of meditation and other practices. Not that I am against meditation but that is not what I was looking for in a climate book. Still I have to say that I hope more people will read his book. If one is only going to read one book on climate change this might not be the one. ( )

By far the most inspirational book on walking the walk of low-carbon living. Biking to work, growing a lot of food at home, picking up grocery store discards, going beyond composting to "humanure" -- what's not to like? And he made a no-fly pledge before COVID. There's even a short documentary video out there about the author. Plus he volunteers with the CItizens Climate Lobby to push for carbon pricing. ( )
