Review:
I don't really know what I expected from this, but... whatever I got wasn't it.
I find I don't have a whole lot to say about this. The book really is just the author recounting his journey of traveling around the world, trying to make changes happen when it comes to the environment and trying to raise awareness of the damage we're doing to our planet.
My problem with this was honestly just that I found it to be really boring. When I sat down to read it and I got a few pages into the chapter, I just found my interest dwindling, and the further into the book I got, the faster my interest waned. It felt really repetitive towards the end. I was surprised by how dull I found this, as I'm actually incredibly interesting in this topic.
The only thing I did like about this was the parts of beekeeping and getting to know the authors friend who worked on his own beekeeping farm. Other than that, I just... I was just bored!
