About this ebook
WINNER OF BOOKSHOP.ORG'S NON-FICTION ANNUAL INDIE CHAMPIONS AWARD
For too long, representations of climate action in the mainstream media have been white-washed, green-washed and diluted to be made compatible with capitalism.
We are living in an economic system which pursues profit above all else; harmful, oppressive systems that heavily contribute to the climate crisis, and environmental consequences that have been toned down to the masses. Tackling the climate crisis requires us to visit the roots of poverty, capitalist exploitation, police brutality and legal injustice. Climate justice offers the real possibility of huge leaps towards racial equality and collective liberation as it aims to dismantle the very foundations of these issues.
In this book, Mikaela Loach offers a fresh and radical perspective for real climate action that could drastically change the world as we know it for the benefit of us all. Written with candour and hope, It's Not That Radical will galvanise readers to take action, offering an accessible and transformative appraisal of our circumstances to help mobilise a majority for the future of our planet.

"It's Not That Radical" by Mikaela Loach presents a one-sided and overly idealistic view of social and environmental justice issues. While the book certainly touches on important topics, it fails to provide a balanced and nuanced perspective. One of the major drawbacks of this book is its heavy reliance on anecdotal evidence and emotional appeals. Loach tends to prioritize personal experiences and stories over data and empirical research. Do not buy this book.
