Emily Hunter's The Next Eco-Warriors is a rich and compelling read that provides insight into the world of today's real planet 2.0 heroes! Any young aspiring actionist really can't afford not to have this brilliant book front and centre in their library! -David de Rothschild, author of The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook--Reviews There is an international revolution afoot whose goal is literally to save the world. Its members are young and motivated, and their actions will help pull us all back from the brink of destruction wrought by modern 'progress.' In The Next EcoWarriors, the revolutionaries tell their own tales that are by turns exciting, horrifying, inspirational, and heartwrenching. This book is for those of us on the home front who are watching the fighters of the front lines, holding our breath, and cheering them on to victory. Priscilla Short, author of Thrifty Green--Reviews Seeing all these brilliant activists and reading about the work they are doing on so many fronts has had an enormous impact on me.

So, what are you waiting for? Do something to save our planet. Now!
