Africa
Heather Dilorenzo Williams
Happening in a lot of places in the middle east & asia right now (...probably africa too; i'm just not as familiar). Coming soon to the U.S. unless we enforce laws now re: negative environmental impact related to pipelines, refineries, and waste disposal. https://t.co/gpSJWrj6s8

Blankets
Craig Thompson
If you haven’t read Blankets by Craig Thompson, check it out. Beautiful and refreshingly REAL and complex story. Anyone who thinks teens don’t have complicated relationships and emotions has no understanding of teens. https://t.co/rKDpxFxKK3

Gaia and God: An Ecofeminist Theology of Earth Healing
Rosemary R. Ruether
wow. Just discovered Ruther not too long ago. If you're Catholic (or if you're not & you're just curious), pick up a copy of Gaia and God: An Ecofeminist Theology of Earth Healing. Pretty amazing to think that she was writing about saving the earth 20+ years before Laudato si'. https://t.co/KgRgRptAvE

Silent Spring
Rachel Carson
The @EnvDefenseFund was founded in 1967 in the midst of what was then known as the DDT wars, inspired by Rachel Carson’s 1962 book Silent Spring. Their slogan: "Sue the Bastards." https://t.co/5PTkaSDCPX Now the bastards are suing people for asking for clean water. How backward.
