In fresh voices that are raw, funny, and lyrical, the two take turns telling the story of their rocky but transformative friendship, which gripped and changed both of their minds. WHAT WE CAN'T BURN shines a spotlight on the chasm in first-hand experiences, tactics, and hopes between two people from vastly different backgrounds and circumstances on the sibling issues of climate change and renewable energy. The result is a poignant story of coming of age in a generation divided about how to save itself, and a testament to the power of humor and dialogue to bridge divides in the global climate movement.
