Rezensionen

Leah Thomas has been leading the push for environmental justice since [the] resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement - after her call for change in the predominantly white climate sector went viral

Vital

Leah Thomas popularized the idea of 'intersectional environmentalism' [and has] helped everyone from the public to major brands rethink their approaches to sustainability ... building a coalition of educators and activists to further raise awareness-and uplift solutions

An essential read, this book gives voice to a movement that will define a generation

Environmentalism is as much about protecting people as it is about protecting the planet [and] Thomas - a vocal advocate and author on topics of environmental justice, race, and sustainability - has shown that these two goals are intertwined

An ode to people and planet ... this accessible book will equip and inspire a movement, and makes it clear that there is no intersectional environmentalism without collectivism, or community accountability. Offering a toolkit to action that disrupts, challenges and transforms the world - this is your guide to making a splash

As much a manifesto as a guide

An overarching yet detailed introduction to intersectional environmentalism ...Thomas's work is essential brain food

Read this book and save the planet

Magnificent, unapologetically questioning ... helps readers frame their experiences and those of their community, question concepts of privilege and ownership, and better understand how climate change impacts the most marginalised

I'm incredibly impressed by her work and the community she has built ... now more than ever, we must prioritise the building of an inclusive, equitable movement that centres frontline communities in the need for climate justice. We can't have climate justice without racial justice - these movements are inextricably linked.

Environmental activist Leah Thomas is making it known that even in our search for sustainable materials, vegan foods, and renewable energy, anti-racism still matters.

A guide and call to action for those longing for empowerment and better treatment of all in society and nature

Leah's urgent work has caused a sea-change in how we talk about the climate crisis online, her timely book expands on that essential work. I'm so grateful that it exists. It not only breathes the much-needed life that youth bring into the movement, but also honors the wisdom of those who paved the way for Intersectional Environmentalism. We need more voices like Leah's - and the many included in the book - in every space. A livable and just future for all of us depends on it
