Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

"Pithy, funny, exasperated, and informed . . . You cannot read a more important hundred pages than Stop Saving the Planet!" —Richard White, author of The Republic for Which It Stands

We've been "saving the planet" for decades! . . . And environmental crises just get worse. All this hybrid driving and LEED building and carbon trading seems to accomplish little to nothing—and low-income communities continue to suffer the worst consequences.

Why aren't we cleaning up the toxic messes and rolling back climate change? And why do so many Americans hate environmentalists?

Jenny Price says Enough already! with this short, fun, fierce manifesto for an environmentalism that is hugely more effective, a whole lot fairer, and infinitely less righteous. She challenges you, corporate sustainability officers, and the EPA to think and act completely anew—and to start right now—to ensure a truly habitable future.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Hillary Huber narrates this intrepid audiobook with controlled irony…She smoothly handles the many uses of ‘riddle me this,’ ‘duh,’ and ‘however’ that ramp up the performance. The narration of this audiobook, subtitled An Environmental Manifesto, is critical to its message…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“This brief, energetic book…[is] a fun introduction to a serious topic that should serve as a starting point for further study and action.” Kirkus Reviews
“Price calls us out to call us in and does so with humor, insight, and an in-your-face attitude that is informed and dare I say, hopeful about our capacity to change how we think, see, and ‘do’ green.” Carolyn Finney, author of Black Faces, White Spaces
Hillary Huber narrates this intrepid audiobook with controlled irony. Her plaintive interrogative tone highlights its striking critique on why so little has been achieved in five decades of battling climate change. AudioFile
