We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast

By Jonathan Safran Foer

We Are the Weather is a riveting exploration about how we think and how we feel about our relationship with climate breakdown, and, more importantly, helps us translate how these feelings inform how we act or do not act accordingly. The chapter where the author has a dialogue with his own soul should speak to any activist who is conflicted about whether they could or should do more, and the book’s resultant message to not consume animal products before dinner is an easily digestible message that is as powerful as it is simple.
