Our Take

Hawken assembles one hundred solutions to climate change — ranked by carbon reduction — from educating girls (number six) to managing refrigerants (number one). It is a book that insists the tools exist, and deliberately excludes the question of political will. The implicit argument is: here is what we know works. The explicit despair is for you to bring to the reading.
