Engage in thoughtful conversation based on readings about our environment, our changing planet & sustainability, and discover practical ways to make a positive, eco-conscious impact in our community.

Our first selection is Kiss the Ground by Josh Tickell

About this month's book

Discover the hidden power soil has to reverse climate change, and how a regenerative farming diet not only delivers us better health and wellness, but also rebuilds our most precious resource—the very ground that feeds us.

Josh Tickell, one of America’s most celebrated documentary filmmakers and director of Fuel, has dedicated most of his life to saving the environment. Now, in Kiss the Ground, he explains an incredible truth: by changing our diets to a soil-nourishing, regenerative agriculture diet, we can reverse global warming, harvest healthy, abundant food, and eliminate the poisonous substances that are harming our children, pets, bodies, and ultimately our planet.

Through fascinating and accessible interviews with celebrity chefs, ranchers, farmers, and top scientists, this remarkable book, soon to be a full-length documentary film narrated by Woody Harrelson, will teach you how to become an agent in humanity’s single most important and time sensitive mission. Reverse climate change and effectively save the world—all through the choices you make in how and what to eat.


This group will meet the second Wednesday of each month. Registration is required.

Participants must obtain their own copy of the title to read. Copies are available through SearchOhio or as an eAudiobook through Hoopla with your Westlake library card.

If you have any questions, please email: elyse.kaderli@westlakelibrary.org.
