{"product_id":"climate-action-for-busy-people-cate-mingoya-lafortune-9781642832778","title":"Climate Action for Busy People","description":"As unprecedented heat waves, storms of the century, and devastating fires impact cities across the country, the time to create climate resilient communities is now. While large-scale innovations in policy and technology are necessary to preserve the planet, the wisest and most lasting adaptation solutions originate at the local level. However, with something as large as the climate crisis, it can be hard to know where to begin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Action for Busy People\u003c\/i\u003e is a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. Drawing from her professional and personal success in climate adaptation and community organizing, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune begins with a brief history of why our communities look the way they do (spoiler, it's not an accident!) and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate risks. Each chapter will help readers scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a handful of weekends, like tree plantings or depaving parties, to advocating for change at the municipal level through coalition-building and data collection. It's not too late for people of all ages and skill levels to create climate safe neighborhoods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Action for Busy People\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to make lasting and equitable improvements that will make their communities climate resilient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cate Mingoya-Lafortune\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1642832774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642832778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Cate Mingoya-Lafortune","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583776452863,"sku":"9781642832778","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6daef13-c47d-49ba-84c8-bc88dd71adb9.jpg?v=1701883483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/climate-action-for-busy-people-cate-mingoya-lafortune-9781642832778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
