Climate “doomers” believe it’s too late to reverse global warming and there is no hope for humanity. You will find no such doomerism with these young activists who are using their talents, energy and social media skills to inspire for a better and more equitable world. In addition to attending rallies and protesting en masse, these EJ champions are turning to reading and authoring books to promote climate justice.
Here are some of the recent books authored and being read by these young EJ advocates:
