“An in-depth analysis of waste and wastefulness … Some may bridle
at Jensen and McBay's bluntness, urgency, and bold vision, but
their demand for the end of wishful thinking and beginning of
environmental transformation is rooted in meticulously constructed
arguments, striking psychological insights, and profound love of
life.” –Donna Seaman, Booklist
“What We Leave Behind is the kind of direct, unflinching,
personal writing that you'd expect from a memoir about a harrowing
childhood, not one about the state of the planet, or what happens
to waste … The directness of the storytelling and of the horrific
vision [Jensen and McBay] lay out is both depressing, and oddly,
comforting.” –Brita Belli, E Magazine
“Jensen and McBay's message that we need to grow up and 'put away
the childish notion that we have the right to take whatever we want
from nonhumans' is eminently reasonable.” –Publishers Weekly
