Eco Rev­o­lu­tion: Cli­mate Jus­tice, Com­mu­ni­ty, and the Fight for Our Plan­et by Maya Penn, on-sale April 21, 2026 (Bal­ance Pub­lish­ing, Hachette Book Group)

This book chron­i­cles untold sus­tain­abil­i­ty his­to­ry, high­lights the sto­ries of unsung eco-war­rior heroes, and shares solu­tions for a more sus­tain­able and equi­table world. With 15 years of hands-on expe­ri­ence in the envi­ron­men­tal activism space, award-win­ning envi­ron­men­tal activist Maya Pen­n’s unique voice has become one of the most sought after.

Eco Rev­o­lu­tion explores our col­lec­tive con­nec­tion to the nat­ur­al world through inher­it­ed ecol­o­gy and Tra­di­tion­al Eco­log­i­cal Knowl­edge (TEK) passed down through indige­nous cul­tures through­out the world as peo­ple worked in part­ner­ship with nat­u­ral­ly occur­ring ecosys­tems to cre­ate thriv­ing, func­tion­al soci­eties and how this has trans­lat­ed to our mod­ern under­stand­ing about sustainability.
