Deep Read of the Month for October 2022

We are often looking for hope — just any glimmer of hope — in considering what to recommend for your reading, and the article we read for today’s Deep Read of the Month discussion (What Does Sustainable Living Look Like? Maybe Like Uruguay [our copy here]) is full of it, particularly for younger people. We want young people to know that your future doesn’t have to be grim. By staying engaged in the political process, by not giving up, you can build a world like the one described here.

By email after this morning’s meeting, Mary McGinnis summarized it perfectly:

This article was an amazing, comprehensive look at the possibilities for slowing climate damage.

Here are the links I mentioned this morning that may deepen people's interest in the article:

1. Biden's Inflation Reduction Act also reduces climate emissions-
