Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet by Bonnie Wright

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

Go Gently is an easy-to-understand beginner's guide to approaching the climate crisis starting at home.

The climate crisis is a bit terrifying and definitely overwhelming and I think Wright did a great job at breaking it down for those who are just beginning to try and figure out how they can help. I appreciated her efforts to uplift the voices of those of color and to respect indigenous people, as those people are often left out of the conversation despite being impacted most by the climate crisis most. As with most books of this sort, I cannot apply a lot of this to my life due to many various reasons, but I still enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I think Wright wrote a good basic guide and many of these actions can be implemented by anyone, anywhere. She checked her privilege along the way as well, instead of blindly assuming that everyone is as privileged as she is. There were a few things in the book that I am iffy about, but overall I did enjoy and would recommend.
