From storm-battered coastlines to pipeline blockades and \"hopelessness workshops,\" he maps out our existential options, and tackles some familiar dilemmas: \"Should I bring kids into such a world?\" \"Can I lose hope when others can't afford to?\" and \"Why the fuck am I recycling?\"\nHe finds answers that will surprise, inspire, and maybe even make you laugh in this insightful and irreverent guide for achieving a \"better catastrophe.\"\nAWARDS BRONZE | 2023 Living Now Book Awards: Social Activism \/ Charity GOLD | 2024 IPPY Awards: Current Events II (Social Issues\/Humanitarian)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0865719837\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0865719837.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Boyd, Andrew\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
