Talk Green to Me Book Club: Don’t Even Think About It

From the Talk Green to Me Book Club –

Join us every 4th Thursday from 7pm – 8pm at Recycled Reads for an environmental and sustainability themed reading extravaganza! In February we’re reading “Don’t Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change” by George Marshall

Most of us recognize that climate change is real yet we do nothing to stop it. What is the psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall’s search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize–winning psychologists and Texas Tea Party activists; the world’s leading climate scientists and those who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he discovers is that our values, assumptions, and prejudices can take on lives of their own, gaining authority as they are shared, dividing people in their wake.
