Join Blue Lab for a conversation with author Eve Driver about her captivating debut book, co-authored with Tom Osborn, What We Can’t Burn: Friendship and Friction in the Fight for Our Energy Future. The conversation will be moderated by Gemma Sahwell, a PhD candidate in geoscience at Princeton and core member of the lab.
From the book’s publisher: “Eve was a fossil fuel divestment activist from Massachusetts. Tom was a clean energy entrepreneur from a rural village in Kenya. They met as juniors at Harvard, launching a journey in which their conflicting perspectives almost tore their unlikely friendship apart. Raw, funny, and lyrical, What We Can't Burn is a memoir in two voices about coming of age in a world confused and divided about how to save itself. Set in Kenya and then the US, it is part travelogue, part textbook, part campus novel. It is a testament to the power of humor and friendship to help us find our place among the many currents of change-making that cut across the world today.”
“Anyone who hopes to make a difference will be inspired by the story of Eve Driver and Tom Osborn’s honest, courageous friendship.” —Michelle Nijhuis, New York Review of Books
