Past Book Club Discussions

Under the Sky We Make

by Kimberly Nicholas, PhD

In March 2025, Sustainable South Jersey hosted a community discussion of Under the Sky We Make, an empowering exploration of how individual and collective choices can meaningfully address climate change. The conversation focused on turning climate concern into action and connecting local efforts to broader climate solutions.

Under A White Sky

by Elizabeth Kolbert

In August 2025, our book club explored Under a White Sky, Elizabeth Kolbert’s examination of humanity’s increasingly technological responses to environmental crises. The discussion centered on unintended consequences, environmental ethics, and what responsible stewardship looks like in an era of large-scale human intervention.
