despite lots of science jargon, this book was very easily digestible and well-researched. it was informative and unlike a lot of environmental literature, wasn't entirely focused on the bad, instead offering various ways that we have bounced back from environmental issues in the past.

I appreciate what this book is trying to do: give one hope in this changing world. To most people, the climate crisis feels quite hopeless. In this book the author tries to give examples of situations where things seem to go the right way, or have been slowly healing again.

The chapters are on interesting topics like the hole in the ozon layer (I remember that being a serious thing when I was younger, but I haven't heard about it for a while), pesticide use and climate change. The writing is smooth and easy to read for me. There is the right amount of information, chapters are not too short or too long. Included in the chapters are some photos and images, which is a fun addition.

While I agree that we must keep hope, and that some things are changing for the better, it's still very difficult to remain positive. The author acknowledges this, I am happy that this book is not just saying: think happy thoughts and all will be better.

In all, a good informative book. There are other books out there that treat similar topics with a similar view, so it's not completely novel.
