Magnificent, unapologetically questioning ... helps readers frame their experiences and those of their community, question concepts of privilege and ownership, and better understand how climate change impacts the most marginalised

I'm incredibly impressed by her work and the community she has built ... now more than ever, we must prioritise the building of an inclusive, equitable movement that centres frontline communities in the need for climate justice. We can't have climate justice without racial justice - these movements are inextricably linked.

Environmental activist Leah Thomas is making it known that even in our search for sustainable materials, vegan foods, and renewable energy, anti-racism still matters.

A guide and call to action for those longing for empowerment and better treatment of all in society and nature

Leah's urgent work has caused a sea-change in how we talk about the climate crisis online, her timely book expands on that essential work. I'm so grateful that it exists. It not only breathes the much-needed life that youth bring into the movement, but also honors the wisdom of those who paved the way for Intersectional Environmentalism. We need more voices like Leah's - and the many included in the book - in every space. A livable and just future for all of us depends on it
