Climate change is alarming and complicated. Government authorities are acting too slowly and gradually or not at all, rather than enough people feel educated or empowered enough to demand action. But overlooking a catastrophe of such magnitude is a certain path to disaster. The Big Swim places forward the theory that personal expansion comes from facing both internal tensions and risks to the biosphere. In a very collection of reports that is frequently touching, incredibly funny, and always thought-provoking, writer Carrie Saxifrage seeks out the places where science meets self-discovery, appealing us to become listed on her as she:

• Learns the artwork of appreciation from a historical jawbone
• Hikes solo through the wilderness to find balance in a field of blueberries
• Swims for four hours through cold, open up water, seeking a fleeting talk about of sophistication

Each of the reports in The Big Swim motivates possibilities for better personal satisfaction with lower environmental impacts. While exploring significant subject areas, such as ecological forestry, nature-centered idea, or First Countries' culture, the author discovers that the greatest adventure is learning to align how she lives using what she enjoys. By turning her own despair into action, she paves just how for all of us all to find the countless tools we have at hand to meet the biggest challenge mankind has ever confronted. Carrie Saxifrage is a journalist and writer whose focus on First Countries' reactions to the suggested North Gateway Pipeline has garnered significant critical acclaim. In 2006, she devoted herself to the most life-affirming experience yet: a low-carbon lifestyle.
