"Through original reporting, profiles, artwork, and interviews, the book provides a vivid introduction to America's unsung grassroots environmental groups"-- Provided by publisher.
The World We Need provides a vivid introduction to America's largely unsung grassroots environmental groups―often led by activists of color and the poor―valiantly fighting back in America's so-called sacrifice zones against industries poisoning our skies and waterways and heating our planet. Through original reporting, profiles, artwork, and interviews, we learn how these activist groups, almost always working on shoestring budgets, are devising creative new tactics; building sustainable projects to transform local economies; and organizing people long overlooked by the environmental movement―changing its face along the way.
