This book was fantastic. A physician's view of a global problem, it is written in a way that everyone can understand (not too technical). The truth can be hard to swallow but the sign from the Indian national park sums it up perfectly, "Nature has enough for our needs but not enough for our greed".
As a first time mom I have a different view of the world around me. It is no longer about what I can get from my surroundings but what I can provide for my daughter. Looking around the current global landscape the people on the earth will consume it in her life time which is a scary and terrible thought. What type of world will she have, will her children have?
All we can do is wake up individually to these real crisis we are generating. Personally we have chosen to install solar panels and buy an all electric vehicle, like a teardrop in the ocean I know, but if everyone took it upon themselves to change small things then the world would improve as a whole. My favorite quote of all time, "Be the change you want to see in the world".
