Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility
Not Too Late is a book and a project that invites newcomers to the climate movement, and provides climate facts and encouragement for people who are already engaged but weary. The authors believe that the truths about climate science, the justice-centered solutions, and the growing strength of the climate movement and its achievements can help. The project offers good news, perspectives, voices, and connections to people, as well as good paths forward for the climate and those who care about it.
