GRASSROOTS RISING A Call to Action on Climate, Farming, Food and a Green New Deal

Narrator Leon Nixon presents this audacious audiobook in a hopeful tone. His persuasive delivery works well for the far-reaching suggestions of longtime activist Cummins, who directs the Organic Consumers Association. Nixon narrates convincingly whether detailing the horrors of cattle raised in feedlots or discussing political corruption or environmental degradation. His careful account underpins the author's urgent message that we must drastically adjust our dependence on fossil fuels and replace degenerative farming practices, destruction of the world's forests, and factory farming if the earth is to survive the ravages of climate change. This is a call to radical action--the overthrow of economic, agricultural, and political norms and the adoption of the Green New Deal worldwide.
