This Moment on Earth

The environment, and the movement that grew up to protect it, is under attack—concerted and purposeful. Yet the need for solutions to pressing environmental problems grows more urgent each day. Teresa Heinz Kerry and John Kerry describe how these issues unite people across ideological, geographic, and cultural lines. From the San Juan Basin to the Gulf of Mexico to the South Bronx, from mothers on Cape Cod to Colorado ranchers, Teresa and John found a vibrant coalition of people and communities deploying ingenuity, technology, and sheer willpower to save the world they live in.

Now, in this passionate and personal book, Teresa and John shine the spotlight on an inspiring cross-section of these new environmental pioneers and offer a guide on how you too can get involved to protect the world that we all know and love.

"John Kerry and Teresa Heinz have written a book that is a profound challenge to all of us but contains, in the examples of the men and women who are fighting the great fight for a better future for our environment, the clear hope that if we can embrace their resourcefulness, determination and essential patriotism we will prevail. Both John and Teresa have been long-time leaders in the battle to save the Earth's environment. Way back when it was not all fashionable, indeed when very few people in the world were even paying attention to it, both John and Teresa were providing outstanding and courageous leadership."
