Description
Why aren’t we doing more to save ourselves?
Madness on the Brink of Eco-Apocalypse casts a penetrating light on the gravest environmental threats to our survival through the perspective of a deeply informed and passionate eco-worrior.
Witnessing the destruction of the life support systems that sustain Life As We Know it, knowing humanity has had many chances to make more life-affirming choices, makes for the perfect recipe for a scalding soup of anger, anguish, and frustration.
Award-winning author Cheryl Leutjen draws from her experience as a geologist, environmental law attorney, and worried mom to expose the mad-ness of the human-caused destruction of Earth’s life support systems.
Leutjen’s narrative is rich in scientific and factual evidence and masterfully woven with engaging anecdotes and sharp, laugh-out-loud humor, making even the most daunting issues resonate deeply with the reader.
She doesn’t just describe all the problems—she urges us to band together to challenge the entrenched systems that keep us trapped in a deadly web of plastics, toxic chemicals, and fossil fuels.
Advance Praise
“Leutjen’s book I’m Mad at God: Furious Rants and Wry Reflections On the Brink of an Eco-Apocalypse is more than a wakeup call on the climate crisis. It’s actually a five-alarm fire bell telling us that our house, the planet, is on fire. She brings our attention to the fact that, rather than our government helping to put out the flames, they are handing corporations the matches and fuel to keep the fire burning.
Leutjen’s plea is to the average person who is going down on the Titanic with her. Sure, some billionaire folks might see themselves heading to moon or Mars colonies, but the rest of us are going down with the ship. We’ve already hit the iceberg and it’s only a matter of time. Leutjen wants us to be awake and alert as we face this disaster, to understand what’s been done to us and our planet and our part in our global demise. Not for the faint of heart.”
