This book is about agency—
our power to act. Or not.

Dollars to Doughnuts confronts one of the most urgent questions of our day: What can we do now to leave our children and theirs a habitable Earth? Clear-eyed about the present, optimistic about the future, it provides ideas and resources to help each of us navigate the thorny maze from here-and-now to well-being and abundance for generations to come.

You know the challenges— Forests burning. Species dying. Lakes shrinking. Microplastics found everywhere from mothers' milk to dolphins' breath. Solutions are at hand. But time is running out.

Inspired by Oxford economist Kate Raworth's vision of “doughnut economics,” Dollars to Doughnuts asks and imagines what must change for humanity to flourish within the safe space between the outer limits of resource availability and the inner foundation of basic human needs. It’s about limits and opportunities. Culture and economics. Governance and the power of individuals to influence change.

And more— Dollars to Doughnuts celebrates the encouraging work of environmental researchers and activists around the world.

This book is about urgency— if we don't act, what then?
