What we’re about
Are you passionate about climate change and want to engage with the topic through a more literary perspective? Or an avid reader who has just started getting more interested in reading and discussing climate change/environment-related books with like-minded folks? If so, welcome! You're in the right place. Virtual/online-friendly Meetup!
We read a combination of nonfiction and fiction books related to climate change and the environment and meet once a month to discuss them (some past books include Braiding Sweetgrass, Weather, The Value of a Whale). We also do periodic movie discussions to take a break between books (usually films available on Netflix).
I'm based in LA and our meetings are run on Pacific Standard Time (usually Saturdays at 11 am PST), but since we meet virtually over Zoom, members from all over the globe are welcome!

See all- January Environment & Climate Book Club - Islands of AbandonmentLink visible for attendees
Hello climate friends and book lovers! This month, we'll be reading the beautifully written Islands of Abandonment: Nature Rebounding in the Post-Human Landscape by Cal Flyn.
If you're into the idea of visiting abandoned human landscapes like Chernobyl and remote areas of Scotland and seeing the wild things that have managed to flourish where humans have left, this is the book for you. Rewilding enthusiasts will also get a lot of out of this.
Please read as much of the book as you can before the meeting so we can have a lively discussion, but it's okay if you can't finish the entire book.
Find the book on Amazon, Bookshop (supports local bookstores), BetterWorldBooks (donates a book to someone in need), or at your local library/bookstore.
