The World We Create

The World We Create: A Message of Hope for a Planet in Peril

By Frances Beinecke

Since the dawn of the modern environmental movement, Frances Beinecke has been on its front lines, leading the charge for clean air, fresh water, healthy wildlife, and fertile lands. As she prepares to retire as president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, The World We Create captures the story of her remarkable tenure as head of America's leading environmental challenges on the years ahead. This is the personal story of one of the few women ever to lead a national environmental organization in this country. It is a forward-leaning story that puts Beinecke at the table and on the ground with the emerging voices shaping the next generation of environmental stewardship and with the challenges that will inherit to confront issues such as climate change, fracking, nuclear power, the Keystone Pipeline, and many others. Most important, The World We Create is a story of solutions, lighting the path forward to the kind of country, and kind of world, we must leave to our children.
