The Power of 8 Billion: It’s Up to Us is centered on two important premises.
1. Why Gratitude is More Important Than Hope.
2. How tapping into the Power of 8 Billion People leading greener lives is the solution for healing our planet.
The book breaks down the statistics, offers science-based solutions from leading authorities, and challenges each of us to put this new knowledge into action. The Power of 8 Billion also presents inspiring stories of individuals, organizations and metropolises around the world who are coming together to replant rainforests, sequester carbon, reduce their own CO2 footprint, power the grid with renewables, and promote micro mobility and mass transportation solutions.
As author Natalie Pace points out, “Concern for the environment and the ramifications of our actions are nothing new. Wasteful habits just became too easy and convenient, and the propaganda and misinformation too prevalent and effective.”
In the Introduction, Natalie explains why gratitude is more important than hope.
When we are grateful for something, we treasure it. We treat it differently. That is why gratitude is more important than hope today. Each one of us treasuring our home planet, and placing Earth’s health at the forefront of all of our choices, including whether or not to drink and toss a disposable coffee cup, has the power to promote rapid reductions in CO2 emissions and carbon sequestration. We co-created a world with too much CO2 and plastic, and we must (and can) come together now to decarbonize. Everything that is habitual and feels comfortable has led us to this climate crisis. Solving the problem will require a new paradigm – not just one that the leaders put in place for us (errr… this hasn’t happened in over half a century), but one that we commit to and enact ourselves.
In short, the power of 8 billion people leading greener lives has the potential, and is potentially our only shot, at healing our planet in time.
