So many of the books that attempt to alter our behaviors or opinions about the environment and our role in its destruction try hard, but fail. We don’t change. We don’t think that it is our problem or that individuals can do much, so why try. And all the data and facts that these well-intentioned sources throw at us, quickly bounce off.
