"A celebration of women who are devoted to reducing the impact of climate change in a variety of creative ways."—Kirkus

"Girls Who Green the World is a compelling read about intrepid explorers and solution-seekers, driven by a fierce determination to advance our understanding of the world and change it for the better. They each saw possibilities to make a meaningful difference for our planet and chose to pursue them with fearlessness and fortitude. In doing so, the stories of these remarkable women motivate, educate and inspire.”—Jill Tiefenthaler, CEO, National Geographic Society

"Girls Who Run the World is exactly the can-do, hopeful book we need right now to promote youth action on our climate crisis. We need this infusion of hopeful, motivating energy because we cannot afford to wait to act. With climate change, we are facing down a dire issue of human rights, justice, gender equity, and the future of our planet."—Mary Robinson, Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and first female president of Ireland

SO FUN, INFORMATIVE, AND INSPIRING!

I enjoyed this book so much! I was expecting a somewhat dry account of sustainable businesses, but no. The quick charming personal profiles engaged me with these women as quirky interesting REAL people. Each chapter was a story with an arc I wanted to follow. I found myself sneaking out for yet another dog walk to listen again (did I mention the narrator is perfect?).
The information is presented in a way that's relevant to each story and more understandable and memorable in context of the story. There were so many fascinating nuggets, I found myself jotting down notes after each story. And at the end I'm fired up with hope that literally anyone can make a difference in saving the planet in their own unique way, no background required. The advice at the end is perfect and I think I already have ideas on the right direction for me,

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
