À propos de cet audio
The New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer re-evaluated his meat-based diet--and his conscience--in his powerful memoir and investigative report, Eating Animals. Now, he offers a mind-bending and potentially world-changing call to action on climate change.
Most books about the environmental crisis are densely academic, depressingly doom-laden, and crammed with impersonal statistics. We Are the Weather is different--accessible, immediate, and with a single clear solution that individual readers can put into practice straight away.
A significant proportion of global carbon emissions come from farming meat. Giving up meat is incredibly hard and nobody is perfect--but just cutting back is much easier and still has a huge positive effect on the environment. Just changing our dinners--cutting out meat for one meal per day--is enough to change the world.
With his distinctive wit, insight, and humanity, Foer frames this essential debate as no one else could, bringing it to vivid and urgent life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A process of brutal and necessary honesty.
Engaging this work is to witness a profoundly talented and bright mind argue to the fullest extent why climate change matters and what can be done to intervene. It could also be a ‘classic’ in the sense of just bearing witness to the process and commitment to seeing an argument through to its ends within the soul of one individual who cares enough to try, and muddle, and take much stronger care and responsibility that the crisis begs us - while simultaneously acknowledging with such humanity the extreme difficultly with the privilege that many of us here have to overcome our modern unprecedented hedonism. Such an honorable and generous bearing of imperfection from a good and worthy mind.

"My last quarter on plant based food"
Reminders of the times I thought about not eating meat anymore, twisted in a new light so strong one can not help be blinded by the lumens. Jonathan's words and reading helped me commit too a more consious end of life consumption plan. Entering my last quarter has beem enriched by being reminded that 1 calorie of meat protein took 26 plant calories to produce. Today I pigged out and ate 600 plant based calories at a buffet which converts into 23 calories of meat. So when you know 4 onces of beef steak is about 300 calories it bogs the mind of how fast one can lose weight with plants, and feel so full.

A Dark and Troubling Topic We Need To Discuss
A Dark and Troubling Topic that needs to be discussed, sooner rather than later. I feel like it could have been a very long essay instead of a short book but the way he made his argument about something so awful was full of beauty and articulated so well. I really like where he took me and how he related it to his own life and the world war 2.
Highly recommend starting this discussion, even if you don't fully agree. Talking it out is the first step.
