Industry Reviews

'The founder of Intersectional Environmentalist is building toward a greener, more equitable future by advocating for both sustainability and social justice while spotlighting communities that have been underrepresented in the space ... She's aiming to set the movement on the right path with her new book, The Intersectional Environmentalist' - InStyle

'Too often, environmentalist proposals and platforms appear willing to sacrifice people - usually the most vulnerable - in exchange for saving the planet. Leah Thomas' The Intersectional Environmentalist aims to fix this problem, offering philosophical defenses for protecting those affected most by climate change, as well as strategies young activists can use to turn theory into practice' - Bustle

'Leah's urgent work has caused a sea-change in how we talk about the climate crisis online, her timely book expands on that essential work. I'm so grateful that it exists. It not only breathes the much-needed life that youth bring into the movement, but also honors the wisdom of those who paved the way for Intersectional Environmentalism. We need more voices like Leah's - and the many included in the book - in every space. A livable and just future for all of us depends on it' - Mikaela Loach, climate justice activist, author and co-host of the Yikes podcast

'Vital' - The Revelator

'An overarching yet detailed introduction to intersectional environmentalism ... Thomas's work is essential brain food' - Conde Nast Traveler
