The Children of the Anthropocene

Wonderfully and poignantly written book about the positive actions being undertaken by so many young folk around the world to make our planet a better place. The anthropocene is the age of human influence on our planet, and unfortunately we are only making the planet worse due to our actions. Numerous books & studies focus on the negative consequences of our actions, but this one is refreshingly different. Bella Lack is a teenager who is also a well-known conservationist and environmental activist. She has written this to highlight the work being done by young people in their own ways and in their own spheres of influence. The book has an overall positive tone, and gently encourages everyone to recognize, appreciate, and contribute in their own ways to making our planet a better place for all life.

The book is recommended for adults and youngsters, its never too late to know what is happening to the world, and how we can support, if not actively participate, in movements and initiatives which will help to reverse the negative effects of humanity’s actions. A helpful manifesto at the end of each chapter gives specific pointers in this direction.
