Word: "Now or Never" by Tim Flannery

Subtitle: "Why we must act now to end climate change and create a sustainable future"

A very short, fast read, with a surprising degree of optimism -- IF we act fast.

Should be available in Salem from Tea Party Bookshop, or Joanne will order it for you.

Chuck Bennett's got a website
