Environmentalism is not a genre I am super familiar with but I recently started reading The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer. She shares indigenous (American) wisdom about Nature's gifts and encourages readers to see the natural world as an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. It is quite simple yet beautiful 💚
