Review of The Little Things: What does it Mean to Be An Environmental Citizen in an Unsustainable Culture?


Paige Doughty's debut is a concise and well thought out piece about the complexities and conflicted emotions of the modern day environmentalist. If you have ever experienced guilt about your personal environmental practices or lack of them, this piece will strike a chord. Interviews with people at different stages in their environmental development offer glimpses of recognition, justification and hope for those of us trying to find our way. Carefully chosen music complements the entire arrangement. Paige asks a tough question, and offers no easy answers. Ultimately she leads us to reflect on our own environmental impact, and to ask ourselves what more we can do.
