Book Discussion: Nature is a Human Right
Details
This month, we decided to read Nature is a Human Right: Why We're Fighting for Green in a Gray World by Ellen Miles:
"Concrete outweighs every tree, bush, and shrub on Earth. Nature deprivation is a fast-growing epidemic, harming the health and happiness of hundreds of millions of people worldwide -- especially vulnerable and marginalized groups. Nature is a Human Right, founded by Ellen Miles in 2020, is working to make access to green space a recognized right for all, not a privilege.
"This book brings together a collection of engaging, accessible essays, interviews and exercises, from expert ambassadors and supporters (including authors, artists, scientists, human rights experts, television presenters, TED speakers, and climate activists). Each contributor offers a new perspective on why contact with nature should be a protected human right."
We meet at a cozy cafe called Beanz and Co in Avon, CT - if it’s your first time, look for the “Nature Lovers Book Club” sign when you arrive. We hope you can join us!
