"We need stories. Badly. We need to transport so many people to a can-do mindset.

"We do this by elevating creative problem-solvers, those who refuse to believe the future is pre-ordained to spell disaster. Instead of tracking temperature rise and island nations set to disappear below rising seas, let’s spotlight Mary Anne Hitt, a scrappy activist from coal country who has organized like mad and succeeded in gumming up approval processes and shutting down 339 coal fired power plants. Let’s illuminate Lynn Jurich, SunRun’s founder, who, with no background in clean energy, has put solar panels on 600,000 rooftops.

"I set out to find these environmental revolutionaries. My goal was to write a collection of profiles spotlighting the women who refuse to accept that Earth is a goner." - Diana Kapp
