Supplemental Reading to read along with Climate Project curriculum?

Alexandre Scott
Alexandre Scott 2 months ago

Educators,

What books on our climate have you read and loved? I am looking for your recommendations for some selected passages, or an entire novel, to read along with our Climate Project curriculum in my Environmental Science elective course. In my AP Environmental Science course, we are reading Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. I have inherited a set of books called How To Change Everything by Naomi Klein and it is a "young human's guide to protecting the planet..."  I have not read it yet, but it made me think to reach out to our community and see what you experts may come up with!

    Books are great, but I like the wide variety of reads I can get on BlueSky (social app) following "Ecology and Conservation" among other topics. What you get on BlueSky is a varied collection of posts usually linked to in-depth articles on lots of topics.  I'm enjoying the learn-a-little-about-a-lot approach.  BlueSky users are a pretty academic bunch.  Won't find a bunch of random posts (for now) about things we don't care about.

    Hannah Ritchie, who does great work with Our World in Data, has written two books that offer really level-headed, data-informed outlooks on climate change. I really enjoyed Not the End of the World for additional framing on how far we come and the justification for an optimistic outlook, and am really excited to get into her latest Clearing the Air: A Hopeful Guide to Solving Climate Change over winter break!

    I also follow daily the journalism coming from Heatmap News. Depending on the level of your class, some of those articles could be really timely to share with students!

    Climate optimism has come up fairly often in my classes this year, so I just ordered a copy of Not the End of the World. Thank you for the suggestion! I also grabbed a copy of What if We Get It Right? since it was listed as frequently bought together. Has anyone read that?
