Recenzii
In
this
spirited
manifesto
against
the
status
quo,
journalist
Dembicki
highlights
the
stories
of
Millennials
who
are
combating
climate
change.
.
.Dembicki
deftly
analyzes
and
critiques
many
organizations
that
claim
to
be
effecting
change.
.
.
and
effectively
demonstrates
that
Millennials

VERDICT
Young
and
old
activists
alike
will
be
inspired
by
this
hopeful
call
for
change.
[Dembicki] offers a deft contemporary view of how the future will be impacted by millennials . . . As Dembicki aptly alludes, the collective voice does make a difference, and the social media savvy of the millennials is unparalleled . . . If you don't want your future to be in the hands of old white men, do read this evocative collection of stories about young people who are making a difference in environmental and political stewardship.
[Dembicki's] profiles are wide-ranging and well-researched. He concludes that despite the presence of a climate denier in the White House, millennials are not going to be screwed--if they take action now. A hortatory call to arms for young people and a harsh critique of their ruling elders.
Dembicki tells a global story of youth in revolt, energized by fear of rising sea levels to reject the status quo in economics and government . . . While describing this group as progressive yet apolitical, [he] shows younger voters energized by policy positions but ultimately disappointed by elected leaders . . . Recommended for readers interested in the environment and the Millennial generation.
[One of] the most talented young journalists I have worked with during my thirty years in the business.
[Dembicki's] reporting helped establishThe Tyeeas one of Canada's leading authorities on climate change and energy.
The answer to the question this fine book poses rests in the remarkable young people he chronicles: if they keep up the battle, we've got a fighting chance!
Screwed? It depends. Young people must stand up for their rights. But they also must know what to ask for. Dembicki provides a lot of help in figuring that out.
We're in dark times, but we aren't screwed yet, and this book showed me what we need to do to stay that way.
Dembicki's book calls us all to work together to create a sustainable existence and provides a unique look into the hearts and minds of millennials across our continent as they try to stop our civilization's sharp turn toward the brink of extinction.
The millennial generation is living in a time of great opportunity but-most importantly-in a pivotal moment to be better.Are We Screwed?tells the stories of the people and the generation who not only see the need to improve, but won't settle until they do.
