In This Together

Connecting with Your Community to Combat the Climate Crisis
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Marianne E. Krasny challenges the idea of the lone environmental crusader, showing the power of "network climate action" where ordinary acts influence and inspire those close to us. By spreading climate-conscious behaviours through our communities, individual actions become collective efforts that can effect widespread change.

Blending examples of everyday climate initiatives with insights on behavioural and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how to scale up impact by leveraging community connections. Whether inviting friends to plant-rich meals or joining climate nonprofits, these shared practices can forge social norms and identities that drive change. The book offers easy-to-follow dos and don'ts, presenting a practical and hopeful path forward.

In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of "network climate action"—the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change.

Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives with insights on behavioural and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change. With easy-to-follow dos and don'ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.
