Let’s save the climate, drip by drip
Our Regen Reads recommendation this month is Hydrate the Earth by Ananda Fitzsimmons.
We often talk about how climate change is affecting the water cycle and weather around the world. But what about how changes to the water cycle are affecting climate change. In her paradigm shifting book, Fitzsimmons delves into the water cycles (both large and small), how we’re affecting them and how they may be the quickest and most impactful way we have to address climate change. A quick read, the depth of this book will have you wanting to reread it before you’ve put it down for the first time!
“As human activities have spread, taking up more of the earth’s surface, we have unintentionally disrupted the water cycle with consequences on our planet’s ecosystem. We can reverse this, particularly through regenerative agriculture. There is a lot of talk about the role of carbon in climate change, but the importance of water is less well known. Intervention at the level of the water cycle could be the fastest way to have an impact and ensure our food security on the planet.”
