Summary:
Alarmed by drastic changes in the Earth's
climate
systems, the author, a
climate
scientist and suburban father of two, embarked on a journey to
change
his life and the world. He began by bicycling, growing food, meditating, and making other simple, fulfilling changes. Ultimately, he slashed his

Being

change
explores the connections between our individual daily actions and our collective predicament. It merges science, spirituality, and practical action to develop a satisfying and appropriate response to global warming.
