    This Moment on Earth: Todays New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future by Teresa Heinz Kerry - Presentation Transcript

    1. This Moment on Earth: Todays New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future by Teresa Heinz Kerry Kerry Gets It Right An inspiring celebration of courageous American innovators who are transforming the way we protect and care for the world we live in. The environment, and the movement that grew up to protect it, is under attack--concerted and purposeful. Yet the need for solutions to pressing environmental problems grows more urgent each day. Teresa Heinz Kerry and Senator John Kerry traveled across the country in a national campaign to see at first hand how these issues unite people across party and ideological lines. From the San Juan Basin to the Gulf of Mexico to the South Bronx, from mothers on Cape Cod to Colorado ranchers, they found a vibrant coalition of people and communities deploying ingenuity, technology, and sheer will power to save the world they know and love. Now, in this passionate and personal book, Senator John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry shine the spotlight on an inspiring crosssection of
    2. these new environmental pioneers. The book combines intensive research with keenly observed personal experiences to present a portrait of Americans devoted to the natural diversity and spectacular uniqueness of our country. It also includes an extensive guide on where and how readers can get involved. Personal Review: This Moment on Earth: Todays New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future by Teresa Heinz Kerry After attending a presentation given by Senator Kerry and his wife and co- author, Teresa Heinz Kerry, about the topics in this book, I was inspired to go home and read it immediately. Their insights, along with their sincere approach to building public awareness around issues such as climate change, the toxicity of today's world and the vulnerability of our nations resources, inspired me to become a significantly more responsible consumer. After reading This Moment on Earth, I read more than 30 other books on topics that relate to our food system, our cosmetics industry, energy and a myriad of other subjects that weave together to form a complex web that threatens the health of future generations. There are many challenges to face and the clock is ticking - Senator Kerry made that very clear. Thanks to their inspiration, a year and a half later, I have not only become an environmental advocate in my own household, but at my childrens' schools, our community and beyond. This book opened my eyes and began an entirely new chapter of my life.
