Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was born and raised in a small town called San Pedro Tultepec, outside Toluca, a city in the basin that neighbors Mexico City. Between 2011 and 2013, my town experienced the worst drought in Mexico in seventy years. In 2015, we were hit by heavy rainfall that resulted in flooding.

#2 As a descendant of the Otomi-Toltec people, I understand that the Earth takes care of me because my ancestors have always taken care of the Earth. I believe that all communities should embody the morality and wisdom needed to adapt to a post–fossil fuel era.

#3 The climate-strike movement is led by youth, but it is also led by youth of all races and ethnicities. The Western media created a narrative that the youth movement started in Europe with Greta Thunberg, but youth of color are also at the forefront of the movement.

#4 The climate crisis is a survival issue for everyone, but the ability to respond to climate disasters is not. Wildfires in California, for instance, are not avoiding fancy homes. Snowstorms, hailstorms, and tornadoes are not discriminating either.
