It can seem to most that just ordinary people would never be able to do anything extraordinary or heroic outside of maybe taking the trash to the curb before going to work in the morning.

It is exactly that stereotype that the Kerrys are proving wrong, showing that it really is ALL about those ordinary people, who are the most important heroes.

Case after case, the book reveals how real people have been fighting the environmental war, battle after battle, against great odds, imposed by enemy legislation, harsh local beliefs and many other forms of opposition with tenacity and ingenuity that kept their dreams alive, even when all seemed impossible.

Just simple people that noticed something was wrong, they would get together, find other people with similar ideas, they would consult scientists, specialists and politicians looking for confirmation and suggestions; the word nowas no longer an acceptable option for these average people with the courage and actions of true heroes and heroines.

So if you want to walk the path of the eco-warrior in a world filled with democratic strongholds and sometimes even the most backwards of thinking, This Moment on Earth gives you all the solutions and formulas that have worked in over 2,500 years of Greek and Roman diplomacy, and shows exactly how even the most common of the common have become the environmental heroes and heroines of our now; is search for a better tomorrow.
