Praise for The World We Need:
"[An] illuminating anthology. . . . Lim crisscrosses the country
and selects her profile subjects wisely, resulting in an
invigorating survey that breaks down stereotypes about tree-hugging
coastal elites and highlights just how much change can be achieved
at the local level. Progressive policy makers and environmental
activists should take note."
-Publishers Weekly
"A gripping new anthology. . . . [The World We Need]
expertly shows how and why environmental science and social justice
activism must work together."
-Forbes
"This book is a testament to the idea that choosing
people over profits is environmental justice."
-Catherine Coleman Flowers, author of Waste: One
Woman's Fight Against America's Dirty Secret and a 2020
MacArthur "genius" fellow
"This is a truly important book, piecing together the story of what
is, cumulatively, a massive uprising for environmental justice.
I've gotten to know and work with many of these activists, and
everyone should get a charge of optimism from their stories, as
well as a sense of the daunting odds they face down so skillfully.
We use the word 'heroes' a little loosely sometimes, but these
people surely are!"
-Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human
Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
