We Are the Weather

Super Short Summary

In We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast, Jonathan Safran Foer argues that the primary contributor to global climate change is factory farming and proposes that adopting a plant-rich diet can mitigate the crisis. The narrative follows a classical Greek argument structure, intertwining memoir and rational argumentation to stress the need for collective action and dietary changes to protect our planet. The book addresses historical trauma, including the Holocaust, and evokes themes of American apathy towards environmental and social issues.
