Healing Earth: Nine Reasons for Revolution

By Al Fritsch SJ

Healing Earth: Nine Reasons for Revolution invites readers to become global activists in order to collaborate in addressing the impending climate change crisis. Starting with an individual discernment of one's place in this world, all are urged to undergo an internal revolution, a change of consciousness, a resolution to create a new socio-economic system that stands counter to our current consumer culture and its associated addictions. This cannot be done at an individual level alone, but rather through a radical sharing of our common resources. In many ways personal insights found in the book parallel the development of Pope Francis' Laudato Si' reflections on the environment: the global nature of the emerging crisis; the places where climate change adversely affects the poor; the need for collaboration by all people of good will; and the urgency to promote a renewable energy economy. Climate change deniers must be confronted and their influence exposed and challenged in order to preserve the viability of our planet. We can save our Earth, but it takes united effort.
