This call to climate action examines ways we can leverage the growing power of smartphones and other technologies to become effective environmental stewards in the face of our climate crisis. Personal technologies are creating what the Environmental Defense Fund calls "a transformational shift" in how we address environmental problems.
Time to Think Small explores how these brand-new approaches are already playing a huge role in winning some of the most difficult and important environmental struggles of our day-from fighting climate change, to ensuring drinkable water for everyone, to saving endangered animals, to keeping plastic out of the ocean.
Learn how these technologies magnify and multiply the power everyone has as individuals to save our environment and how this tremendous power is not only growing, but also has the huge benefit of being independent of sudden shifts in political leadership.
Drawing on two decades of environmental policy and a career working with endangered species mixed with his previous career in tech, Myers looks at the different ways we can be empowered to find environmental solutions.
The future of environmental stewardship depends on technology and innovation. Todd Myers is a national leader on environmental policy and technology and understands how to create solutions that sidestep political gridlock.
--John Connors, former Microsoft CFO A much-needed analysis of how we can solve complext global environmental problems by applying human ingenuity. . . and why every step matters along the way.
--Benji Backer, President, American Conservation Coalition Addressing climate change can be such a polarizing issue. Myers's book has found a way to cut right through that with practical, applicable actions that everyone can take to make a difference.
--Kevin Wilhelm, CEO, Sustainable Business Consulting While the positions taken by Todd Myers may be disconcerting to an old-school environmentalist such as myself, his voice is one we need to hear in the conversation about climate change. Myers makes a compelling argument that thinking small stimulates creativity, and that nimble, creative approaches can play a crucial role in achieving sustainability. --
