  • On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal – Naomi Klein

In her most galvanising book yet, Naomi Klein makes a case for a radical New Deal. The fight for a green world is the fight of our lives. And with On Fire, Naomi Klein gives us the ammunition to do it. In frank, personal terms, she shows us how the only way forward out of a polluted world of our own making is only through policy reform—a concrete set of actions to combat the mounting threat of total environmental catastrophe. What’s needed, she argues, is something with radical verve and guaranteed protections: in other words, a New Deal.

  • We Are the Weather – Jonathan Safran Foer

A significant proportion of global carbon emissions come from farming meat. Giving up meat is incredibly hard, and nobody is perfect—but just cutting back is much easier and still has a hugely positive effect on the environment.
