Humans aren’t the only beings witnessing the near collapse of Earth due to climate change, nuclear weapons proliferation and pandemics. Interplanetary salvagers, the Plenetians have been watching Earth for a thousand years from their own water-starved planet, patiently waiting for humanity’s apocalypse.

The Earth’s Best Story is a bittersweet tale about the founding of Earth’s Best Baby Foods twenty-five years ago. Told through the dual narrative of each brother, this is not a business tome, although it is rich in entrepreneurial lessons and know-how. Rather, it’s more like a “how to,” “how not to,” and “how they did it” memoir. It’s personal, it’s intense, it’s inspirational, and it’s full of reflections and tales of wonder and woe.
People of every imaginable background and station in life want to make a difference with their lives. But how do you effectively do that? How does an idea successfully journey across the wastelands separating fantasy and reality? The Koss brothers take the reader on this journey. Theirs is a tale of idealism, naivete, and possibility that reflects the quest to find a place in this world by somehow changing it for the better.
The very idea of climate change is under attack. Climate change activism, despite decades of laudable effort, is failing to protect our planetary life support systems. We see this with record CO2 rise, precipitous global temperatures, accelerating species extinction, and ocean acidification. What can we do to meet these pronouncements and counter our growing resignation, cynicism, and powerlessness? What are the elusive solutions to the global warming crisis?
What if we seriously entertained the question – If the possible is failing us, what is the impossible that would not?
The Climate Emergency Plan attempts to answer these questions by presenting a “revolution in activism” paradigm that focuses on ethical capitalism, climate banking and entrepreneurship, impact investing, and a complete re-thinking of how environmental organizations collaborate, organize, and function to create empowerment and impact.
