Acclaim for Climate Grief
“More than an exploration of climate change and its impact on our mental health, this book eloquently and practically outlines how to thrive despite the seemingly insurmountable odds.”
— Julie Schnedeker, author, Cofounder of Plant-Based Point
“This book takes us on a personal journey using ecotherapy and reconnection to the natural world to overcome our collective climate grief. In the process we find healing for ourselves, our communities, and our planet. If you read only one book this year, please let it be this one.”
— Seth Tibbott, author, Founder of Tofurkey
