Reviews
Named a "Top 10 Environmental Read" by Huffington Post "Will light a righteous fire under those who are receptive to its message; the best we can do is hope that it spreads, and spreads, and spreads." - Utne Moral Ground seeks to inspire action through a recognition of our species' commitment to ethical behavior and a reminder that ideals such as love and justice must dictate all of our actions." - Orion "Because the message needs to be heard now more than ever, as we are on the brink of continuing to thoughtlessly, recklessly, destroy ourselves and the Earth, the combination of philosophy and science is especially effective." - Chicago Examiner "Taking ethical action to address global climate change worldwide is a bequest that will give life to people now and in the future." - Eugene Register Guard "An ambitious project that aims to make a rock-solid moral case for environmental action." - Grist "A call to cultivate and implement a sense of collective moral responsibility to the future of our planet." - Isle Journal "Solving climate change issues will come only from our openness to listen to each other, learn from each other, and seek mutual understanding in good faith." - Portland Tribune
