Your community needs leaders who care about the environment. As climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity threaten our planet’s health, we can’t afford to wait for governments or corporations to solve these problems. We need individuals who are willing to take action, inspire others, and make a difference. And those differences need to happen right in our backyards.
That’s why we need people like you. You know your community best. You may not know exactly what’s in the water, but you know when it looks funny. And, you know where the kids play. You can see right through the political bandying in community meetings to the heart of the issue. Companies and politicians are using your community for their own gain.
Becoming an environmental leader is not easy. It requires knowledge, skills, values, and habits that go beyond recycling, using reusable bags, or turning off lights. It demands a deep understanding of the root causes of environmental issues, the ability to communicate convincingly and inspire action, the courage to challenge the status quo, and the resilience to overcome obstacles and failures.
This book is about how to cultivate environmental leadership in yourself and in others. It draws on research, examples, and stories from various fields, including environmental science, psychology, education, and activism. It offers practical strategies, activities, and reflections that can help you develop and enhance your leadership potential, regardless of your background or experience. If you’re interested in environmental leadership, this book is for you.
