About this listen
An accessible solutions-oriented guide for addressing the Earth's environmental crisis and enacting meaningful change.
What can we, as ordinary citizens, do about climate change? While countless environmental books focus on the causes of our current crisis, Advocating for the Environment is one of the first to focus on advocacy and policy-based solutions, arming listeners with the tools they need to take action and enact change.
In part one, environmental policy expert Susan Inches discusses storytelling, empathy, mindset, and how effective communication can help us collaborate with others, even those with opposing views. Part two focuses on practical skills like coalition building, media relations, communication strategy, and navigating political and bureaucratic obstacles that block large-scale legislation. The book also includes case studies, research, and templates to deepen learning. Professors and teachers, students, legislators, environmental clubs, and church groups will also find useful ideas and strategies in this book.

"This is that rare book that speaks not only to environment students but to all people who care about their future. At once both holistic and practical, nuanced and vivid, Advocating for the Environment gives us the guidance we need to take action for a vibrant and healthy future." (George Lakey, professor, activist, and author of How We Win)
"Smart, strategic, and genuinely empowering, this book is one that activists everywhere will keep coming back to." (Michael Brune, executive director at Sierra Club)
“This book is the ultimate DIY manual for anyone to fight city hall, protect their neighborhood, shape public policy, or (merely) save the Earth. Clearly written and full of important insights and advice (like start with the story, not the data), it will not only make you a better advocate, but through your work, will make our planet a better place.” (Angus King, US senator from Maine)
