List of useful resources on the climate and ecological crisis and approaches to tackling it.

Firstly, Thank you for coming along to the Heading For Extinction presentation.

We covered a lot of ground and it was a lot to take in.
So as you reflect on the scientific consensus on the ecological crisis, and the rationale for non-violent direct action, here are some resources you can continue to refer to and/or share with friends and family.

There are news articles, videos, films, books and more dense articles. I also have been writing a few articles on this for a bamboo underwear company (!) they’re written really informally, which might appeal. So pick what makes sense for you.

I’ve made a few personal judgements here on some of the content that might be useful guidance as you go through these resources:

More academic/in depth: | For everyone: | Humour: | Kid-friendly | Potentially hard-going emotionally:

If you’ve got any feedback, I’d love to hear it – you can reach me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Sophia
