When Eve Driver and Tom Osborn met as juniors at Harvard University, Eve was a fossil fuel divestment activist from Massachusetts who believed capitalism was at the root of the climate crisis, and Tom was a clean energy entrepreneur from a rural village in Kenya who believed an activist approach was suspended from the real-world experiences of those facing the worst of the crises’ effects. What We Can’t Burn is a memoir in two voices about friendship formed amid the Harvard fossil fuel Divestment campaign, coming-of-age in a generation confused and divided about how to save itself, and the power of dialogue to bridge conflicting perspectives of climate justice.
