Our home, our only home
Born without fangs, claws, or wings, naked of fur or feathers, humans are the most vulnerable of Earth's creatures. Our strength rests in our knowing. Early on, we put our big brains to work to tame fire, and over eons, our discovery helped us grow. Just two centuries ago, we began using coal, oil,...

| 520 | |a Born without fangs, claws, or wings, naked of fur or feathers, humans are the most vulnerable of Earth's creatures. Our strength rests in our knowing. Early on, we put our big brains to work to tame fire, and over eons, our discovery helped us grow. Just two centuries ago, we began using coal, oil, and gas remnants of long-ago life hidden deep within a generous Earth to fuel fire, light up our nights, and run machines. Fertilizers let us reuse the soil. Pesticides killed the competition. We even dreamed up a synthetic wonder material called plastic. But our big brains tuned out the devastating effects of these actions. Can our knowing unravel the greatest crisis we'll ever face? Packed with hopeful action points, this portrait of a planet in peril is a plea to reconnect with our home, the source of all life, and a rallying cry for a generation coming of age just in time to turn things around. | ||
