Take a beat to read, rest and reflect at the Library. This session will consider a chapter from the Little Free Sustainability Library book:
Field Guide to Climate Anxiety, How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet by Sarah Jaquette Ray. CH 8 Feed What You Want to Grow.
Book Description - A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The “climate generation”—late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z—is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire outcomes predicted by climate science. Those inheriting our planet’s environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation.

Combining insights from…

Take a beat to read, rest and reflect at the Library. This session will consider a chapter from the Little Free Sustainability Library book:
Just Transformations, Grassroots Struggles for Alternative Futures edited by Iokiñe Rodríguez, Mariana Walter, Leah Temper. CH 2 - A Conversation on Radical Transformation Frameworks.
Book Description - The climate crisis is the greatest existential threat humanity faces today. The need for a radical societal transformation in the interests of social justice and ecological sustainability has never been greater. But where can we turn to find systemic alternatives? From India, Turkey, and Bolivia, to Venezuela, Canada, and Lebanon, Just Transformations looks to local environmental struggles for the answers.

Rest + Read (Rest is Resistance)
SkillShops
Take a beat to read, rest and reflect at the Library. This session will consider a chapter from the Little Free Sustainability Library book:
Rest is Resistance, A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey. Introduction CH.
Book Description - Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine-level pace of work—feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its virtuous benefit. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy. From the founder and creator of The Nap Ministry, Rest Is Resistance is a battle cry, a guidebook, a map for a movement, and a field guide for the weary and hopeful. It is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black…

Book Description - The Intersectional Environmentalist is an introduction to the intersection between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and an acknowledgment of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet.
