Bookshops recommend climate books
Guest
For this year's Earth Day, Euronews interviewed three booksellers around the UK about what sustainability means for their bookshop, and how they see their role as booksellers in the struggle against environmental collapse.
Representing Lighthouse, Jess talked about the bookshop's role in connecting readers to grassroots action, encouraging analysis of the climate crisis as connected to colonialism and many current social justice issues, and representation in nature writing. You can read the interview here!
Euronews also asked eight booksellers to recommend a favourite climate/environment book, and of course we couldnt' resist listing them here for easy access! You can read everyone's recommendations (including Jess's favourite The Memory We Could Be by Daniel Voskoboynik) here.
