Lappe, Frances Moore - Environment Consciousness Resilience - 07.10.30

"Getting A Grip: Clarity, Creativity, and Courage in a World Gone Mad" How we've created our culture and how we can step back to reshape it. We citizens of the world can take our lives & our governments into our own hands to create a better world, in which we can all thrive together.

Frances Moore Lappe is the author of 16 books, including her 1971 bestseller “Diet for a Small Planet” which influenced millions of people about the causes of hunger & the food choices we make.  Since then Frances has become one of the nation’s  leading social activists and an invaluable intellectual resource & visionary for a new democratic social movement. Towards this end, she has founded the Small Planet Institute & the Center for Living Democracy.   “EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think to Create the World We Want” argues that instead of becoming overcome by fear, guilt & despair towards our environmental and social crises, we need to make efforts to alter our mental constructs to embrace a commitment to positive action.
