Join Quad Cities DSA at The Brewed Book in Davenport at 2 PM on September 28th to discuss Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change, and Pandemics by Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass.

From the book's description:

"Half-Earth Socialism is a radical call to action to save the planet, including trenchant proposals to rewild half the earth to absorb carbon emissions and restore biodiversity; rapidly transition to renewable energy, paired with drastic cuts in consumption; and shift to global veganism to reduce energy and land use. As this thrilling and provocative book makes clear, we must humbly accept that humanity cannot fully understand or control the earth — but we can plan new energy systems, large-scale rewilding, and food production for the common good."

You can purchase a copy in paperbook and/or ebook here. You may also be able to borrow copy using interlibrary loan at some local libraries. If you need assistance in getting a copy, please contact Ricky at quadcitiesdsa@gmail.com with "Half-Earth Socialism" in the subject line.
