Actions Speak Loudest: Keeping Our Promise for a Better World, a new book by Robert McKinnon inspires us to keep a generational promise to leave the world a better place than we inherited. This collection of photos, essays, and calls to action draw attention to thirty-one important issues facing this and future generations. The topics covered range from childhood obesity to climate change, and the contributors McKinnon selected demonstrate “an action-oriented” approach. Notable voices include President Jimmy Carter, Mia Hamm, and Dave Eggers as well as everyday heroes who have overcome challenges to impact the youth in their community. Readers are also encouraged to visit the companion site, an online community where they can share their own ideas, images, and recommended actions.
Mark Twain once said, “Actions speak louder than words but not nearly as often.” This book aims to change all that.
