Takeaways
Description
In We Are the Weather: A Manifesto, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time—climate change—in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. 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. Foer reveals that we have turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and that the consequences are catastrophic.
