“Never say that today's young people are apathetic—as Emily Hunter makes absolutely clear in this great volume, youth are out there in force, trying every creative tactic they can think of to safeguard the planet on which they will live out their lives. The only question is if the rest of us will follow their lead. I know I'm inspired!”
—BILL MCKIBBEN, AUTHOR OF EAARTH, CREATOR OF 350.ORG
“More and more young people are having to give up ‘youthful innocence’ in pursuit of saving their very future from the hands and decision-makers of those who are destroying it. It is a profoundly powerful testament to these same young people that not only are they willing to do this but that they are doing so with such clarity, commitment, and creativity. This book will break your heart, then inspire you, and hopefully move you into looking at how you can use your life to make a positive difference for the planet and all the life it sustains—now and for future generations.”

So, what are you waiting for? Go do something to save our planet. Now!”

“We've arrived at a point in time when being an activist is no longer enough, it's about being an actionist!

Any young aspiring actionist really can't afford not to have this brilliant book front and center in their library.”
