UNDER THE SKY WE MAKE - KIMBERLY PHD NICHOLAS K...

It's warming. It's us. We're sure. It's bad. But we can fix it. After speaking to the
international public for close to fifteen years about sustainability  climate scientist Dr.
Nicholas realized that concerned people were getting the wrong message about the climate
crisis. Yes  companies and governments are hugely responsible for the mess we're in. But
individuals CAN effect real  significant  and lasting change to solve this problem. Nicholas
explores finding purpose in a warming world  combining her scientific expertise and her lived 
personal experience in a way that seems fresh and deeply urgent: Agonizing over the climate
costs of visiting loved ones overseas  how to find low-carbon love on Tinder  and even
exploring her complicated family legacy involving supermarket turkeys. In her astonishing book
Under the Sky We Make  Nicholas does for climate science what Michael Pollan did more than a
decade ago for the food on our plate: offering a hopeful  clear-eyed  and somehow also
hilarious guide to effecting real change  starting in our own lives. Saving ourselves from
climate apocalypse will require radical shifts within each of us  to effect real change in our
society and culture. But it can be done. It requires  Dr. Nicholas argues  belief in our own
agency and value  alongside a deep understanding that no one will ever hand us power--we're
going to have to seize it for ourselves.
