"The message of the book is: you're not alone and you can make a difference...says [the book's editor]. "We feel it's important to get that message out as soon as possible... From young girls in Indonesia who have got plastic bags banned, to an engineer in India who is creating artificial glaciers, this is a book about people who are finding different ways to confront climate change head-on, wherever it is affecting them." - The Observer
