THE OUTDOOR CITIZEN

Rights Holder: Apollo Publishers
Original Language: English

A groundbreaking volume from the president and CEO of the Appalachian Mountain Club makes the profound argument that to preserve the environment, a revolution must take place in which every person becomes a champion for nature and the outdoors.

In The Outdoor Citizen, John Judge coins the term “Outdoor Citizen” as he delivers an urgent call to action and a remarkably persuasive argument for why we must all become citizens of the natural world, reconnecting with life's most essential foundation, nature, and defending it, embracing it, and advocating for it.

Judge, an international leader in conservation stewardship, covers such topics as how to turn our cities into Outdoor Cities, with a wide range of green spaces, outdoor recreation activities, ecofriendly transportation, and sustainable food sources; how to globally transition to green energy sources; what environmental policies must be implemented and how to enact them; and how to fund a sustainable economy.

At a time when we are facing an unprecedented climate crisis, the continued use of carbon emissions will lead to devastating, irreversible effects on the earth. This unique and riveting volume, brimming with expert advice and case studies, is unparalleled—a game-changer for saving our planet and an entry point into a world of healthier and happier people.

John Judge is president and chief executive officer of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), which was founded in 1876 and today is the oldest outdoor recreation and conservation organization in the United States. He is an internationally renowned advocate for connecting people to the outdoors, conservation stewardship, and advancing the outdoor economy, and since 2012 has led the AMC's sustainable growth and its work to get hundreds of thousands of people active in the outdoors and conservation stewardship. He lives with his family in Boston, MA.
