We Are the Weather

Autor Jonathan Safran Foer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2019
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.

Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn't believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?

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 way of life. And it all starts with what we eat-and don't eat-for breakfast.

Recenzii

Read this book.Saving Planet Earth starts right here, right now
We Are The Weather: Saving The Planet Begins At Breakfastisoptimistic not because Foer minimises the crisis, but because of his claim that ordinary people have a chance of ameliorating it. . .I have not had meat at lunch since I read the book, and that makes me feel even better than having solar panels.
A warning:this is a life-changing book and will alter your relationship to food forever
Since I finished the book I have been following his advice. I hope others will too.The future of the planet is in our hands - or rather, it's on our plates
Jonathan Safran Foer has laid down an urgent challenge with this book.Thought-provoking, humane and incisive,We Are the Weatherconfronts our personal entanglement in the climate crisis through the food on our plates.A necessary bookabout the way we eat and the enormous difference our daily choices can make.
Safran Foer's new approach, measured and moderate,gives me hope
In a style rarely found in books about global catastrophe, [Foer] interweaves personal stories, bulleted factoids and a delicious serving of metaphor.The effect is dazzling.
Eye-opening. . . In this follow-up to his influential Eating Animals, [Foer] brings both personality and passion to an issue that no one has figured out how to address in a way that inspires an adequate response.
Beautiful, powerfulwriting that's made me rethink the way I eat.
Foer's message is both moving and painful, depressing and optimistic
Foer's new book urges the reader gently towards incremental adjustments - the idea being that if enough of us observe them, difference can be made
