The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where We Go From Here by Hope Jahren

I read this book because someone recommended it, saying "I had no idea the government collects so much data!" *me, nodding fiercely*

Am I a nerd? Yes. Yes I am. 

I felt like I was taking a crash course on climate science, world history, and consumerism.

This book made me cry, it is not a happy read, but it's a good one. 

I almost want to go back to vegeterianism.
