Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Publisher Comments

The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world.

In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here — some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being — giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

Review

"With a climate-denying party controlling the government, it can seem that there’s no hope.... But a new book might change that — and serve as a blueprint for what comes next if the U.S. government (and the global community) begins to aggressively focus on altering the climate future. Drawdown is likely the most comprehensive model of climate solutions ever made." Fast Company

Review

"Be kindly unto the scientists, for they may just save our skin — and make us happier and wealthier in the bargain.... An optimistic program for getting out of our current mess, well deserving of the broadest possible readership." Kirkus Review

Review

"At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope." Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming

Susan Feathers , August 16, 2017 (view all comments by Susan Feathers)
Paul Hawkin has led in the climate change and sustainability literature for decades but this, I believe, is his most important work. Why? Because it demonstrates that the answers to climate extremes also solves many other long-term problems. For example, giving Native Americans control of their own land is a long-standing human rights issue; educating women worldwide has been a strategy recommended by the UN and human right groups as a proven strategy for reducing population pressures, improving health, reducing costs, promoting small business, and empowering 50% of the world to make a positive difference in our collective well-being. You'll be amazed at the top ten strategies: they are totally doable; we have the know-how. All that is missing is the WILL. Let's do it! Read the book and then pass it on to your friends.
