Earth: Our Shared Home Book Series

Join us to discuss a few thought-provoking titles about the interconnected relationship we have with our shared home, planet Earth. Our discussions will span the months of February, March, and April leading up to the globally recognized Earth Day on April 22. Join us for as many sessions as you’d like! 

Our March title is Carbon: The Book of Life by Paul Hawken. Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth's composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Through the lens of carbon, Hawken charts a course across our planetary history, guiding us into the realms of plants, animals, insects, fungi, food, and farms to offer a new narrative for embracing carbon's life-giving power and its possibilities for the future of human endeavor.
