ENVIRONMENT • EMPOWERING • NON-FICTION
The topic of climate change can be riddled with numbers that, while incredibly valuable, leave us feeling overwhelmed. Christina and Tom, though, have written a book that makes it not only digestible but hopeful.
First, they explain where we’re at with climate change and the targets humanity must aim for.
Next, they show what the future might hold if we hit the targets and what could happen if we don’t.
Then, determined to build our thriving future, they explain how we can get it done. Christina and Tom go to the root of where change needs to begin—mental and internal—and carry us through ten critical actions.
Please, I ask with my hands pressed to my heart, read this book.
A heartfelt thank you to Christina and Tom for your work.

ABOUT MY BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
I share what I enjoyed and think you might, too. I’m drawn to romance, women’s fiction, sci-fi, dystopian, non-fiction that expands my mind, and stuff that makes me laugh. I seek female authors and stories that feature characters in mid-life and beyond. No topic is off limits and I’m not easily offended, but I don’t like scary stuff.
