Her books Gathering Moss and Braiding Sweetgrass are two of my favorites. If you haven’t, definitely pick them up. – source2020-01-07T17:12:20.000Z
Yeah that's because most of those books are actually just sanctimonious classists pretending they're trying to fix problems. That's why they're depressing
If you want a book that's actually about moving forward, "Braiding Sweetgrass" is FANTASTIC. – source2020-11-30T04:52:30.000Z

Hard to describe without reading the book. Great commentary on how our linear, extractive, silo’ed economy fails in comparison to the regenerative, circular, reciprocity-based model that has been timeless. Her metaphors are unreal. – source
