Praise for Response-Able

“A better future begins in our imagination and imagination begins in minds open to larger possibilities. Jaimie Cloud's life work is a master class in educating for imagination, equipping students to see what could be, not just what is and to join imagination to action. Response-able is essential reading.”

–Dr. David W. Orr, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Oberlin College

“This book is a kind of magic. It is a catalytic collection - of ideas, perspectives and tools - that can dispel inaction and generate thinking and practices that support life and wellbeing.”

–Dr. Stephen Sterling, Author, and Professor Emeritus Sustainable Earth Institute, University of Plymouth

“Response-able is a timely and empowering guide for young people and those shaping their futures. Jaimie invites us to rethink how we live and learn on this planet, blending wisdom, science, and imagination to show that a sustainable future begins with how we choose to think and act today.”

— Prof. Daniella Tilbury, Chair, Networks of Leaders and Institutions for Future Generations (NIFG) and sustainability education change maker
