All my hand-wringing progressive friends need to read "Am I too old to save the planet?" now. MacDonald’s timely handbook on the climate crisis not only offers concrete steps we can take as individuals to transform the future but, importantly, invites us to join with others in collective action to bring about the systemic change that is needed. It’s about we, not me. ~ Helen Stoltzfus, Playwright, Performer, Co-Artistic Director, Black Swan Arts & Media

OK, Boomer, here's your chance to prove a thousand memes wrong.

Just do it indeed! ~ Gernot Wagner, Climate Economist, Columbia Business School and author of But Will the Planet Notice? How Smart Economics Can Save the World

As a member of the baby boom generation, I'm well aware of the skills and connections we acquire over our lives that can be used to make the world a better place. MacDonald's book provides a practical guide for people of a "certain age" who want to leave a livable planet for future generations. We can make a difference at any age. This book details the many things that boomers have to offer. ~ Madeleine Para, Executive Director, Citizens Climate Lobby

Lawrence MacDonald’s “Am I too old to save the planet?' answers strongly: No! We elders are living longer and healthier to take responsibility for this essential role.

OK boomers, you're up! Lawrence MacDonald has given his generation a warm invitation and a road map (remember those?) for bringing their much-needed power and experience to the climate movement.

As a late boomer myself, I couldn't put this book down. MacDonald brings moral clarity and practical know-how to the urgent premise: Boomers can and should do more to fight climate change. Be careful, this book could change your life. ~ Mike Tidwell, Director, Chesapeake Climate Action Network

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Cute title and it did hook me and make me curious. And the book was better than I expected. I think most readers are going to do what I did and skip the first few chapters to get to the meat of it which is what Boomers CAN do. I liked that it wasn't just general suggestions, but rather did cater to us Boomers and where we are in life. In fact the book does that quite well; I found much of it to be relevant to me and how I live, so though I was prepared to scoff at this book (yes, I'm that kind of boomer) I found myself impressed. This would not be a bad book to keep on your reference shelf and to challenge yourself to take a few of the suggestions to heart. Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. To the other generations: Get this book as a holiday present for the boomers in your life! ~ Sara Aoyama (Reviewer)
