Climate Courage"Climate Courage"
by Andreas Karelas

Andreas Karelas has a message we don't often hear: we have all the tools we need to solve the climate crisis and doing so will improve our lives, our economy, and our society.

But we need stories that are empowering and solutions-oriented, not based in fear. Karelas examines the rapidly falling costs and increased efficiencies of clean energy technologies compared to fossil fuels, the rate of job creation in the clean energy sector, and introduces the inspiring work of climate heroes.

"Climate Courage" shows us how we can move past our collective inaction on climate change and work together to create a more sustainable, clean energy-powered economy that works for everyone. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3uufK1B.
