Author and narrator Leah Thomas faithfully delivers an inclusive introduction to environmental activism that focuses on the marginalized people most affected by climate injustices. Her leisurely paced narration allows listeners to focus on descriptions and statistics detailing the environmental injustices against BIPOC, as well as pledges and calls to action that specifically address these issues. Several quotes are delivered by narrators Hayden Bishop and Erin Walker, some using a phone-call style vocal filter that distracts from the listening experience but does further support the critical arguments being presented. Thomas’s passion shines through her narration, perfectly conveying both her enthusiasm and authority on this topic. An important primer for the next generation of activists.
