This episode of Big Blend Radio features author Cheryl Leutjen, who discusses her latest book, “Madness on the Brink of Eco-Apocalypse: Furious Facts, Dark Humor & SOS Calls to Action.” A follow up to her award-winning book “Love Earth Now,” the book confronts the human-caused harm on Earth’s life support systems.

Weaving “furious facts” with dark humor and vivid prose, Cheryl offers concrete resources and inspiration to fuel the fight for our survival. Each chapter spotlights a group taking action, showcasing inspired and practical solutions to counter one of the many threats to our survival. “Madness on the Brink of Eco-Apocalypse” invites us to move beyond individual efforts and forge connections to amplify our collective power for greater impact. 

Cheryl Leutjen draws from her experience as a geologist, attorney, small business owner, spiritual practitioner, nervous stand-up comic, and worried mother. This wealth of experience, along with degrees in Interdisciplinary Ecology, Environmental Geology, and Law, affords her a broad perspective to contemplate the dire environmental challenges of our time. She writes, rants, and facilitates creative experiences to inspire us all to discover our own path of living more Earth-mindfully. More at: https://cherylleutjen.com/
