The novel offers some great opportunities to discuss our dependence on oil, as well as the solutions and alternatives that exist. The main character is a scrappy, resilient young woman, with your typical high school angst, but also some pretty serious problems at home. Our last two book club books represent two different genres- a dystopian young adult novel and a comprehensive non-fiction book focusing on climate change and energy.Įmpty by Suzanne Weyn, takes place in the not so distant future when oil prices are skyrocketing and extreme weather is the norm. Book suggestions, (especially hopeful ones!) are welcome in the comments area below. The book club evolved out of some informal virtual discussions between a number of us involved in climate and energy education around the country and is sponsored through ICEE: Inspiring Climate Change Education Excellence in Boulder, Colorado.
The posts are based on discussions in the “Not So Serious Climate and Energy Book Club,” last Friday. Note: This is the fourth in a monthly series of posts focused on integrating literacy and climate science and energy issues.
