We Are the Weather
Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast
Book • 2019
In *We Are the Weather*, Jonathan Safran Foer delves into the central global dilemma of climate change with a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent approach.
The book highlights how our planet has been transformed into a farm for growing animal products, leading to catastrophic consequences.
Foer argues that collective action, starting with simple dietary changes such as reducing animal product consumption, is crucial for saving the planet.
He draws analogies from historical events, personal experiences, and scientific facts to emphasize the need for individual responsibility and action in combating climate change.
