Don’t Panic!

Survivability, a friendly guide to the end of the world (as we know it), is the long awaited creative non-fiction book by me, Rob Fleming, a local celebrity and sustainability leader based in Philadelphia. It’s a tragic comedy with a surprisingly positive ending that you won’t want to miss. But first we need to wrestle with some very uncomfortable truths like:

We will lose the battle against the climate emergency

The rash of extreme climate events we’ve experienced since Hurricane Katrina are previews to a reckoning that few people are willing to acknowledge. In a world where climate scientists resist telling the whole truth about what’s coming, many folks don’t realize we are well past the point of reversing or even slowing the rate of climate change, and we will soon find ourselves coping with a dystopian decline into a complete ecological breakdown

Fear not!

Sustainability leaders have bought us precious time to prepare. Resilience experts have carved a path towards recovering from disasters fueled by intense global heating. And now comes Survivability, the next great movement for humanity, a painful but necessary transition to the regenerative, empathic and nature-based utopian future we all dream of and we must choose our next course of action. But first, We must answer the most important question in the entire history of humanity:

Do we save the planet, or save ourselves?

The answer to this question, and many others will be found in my soon to be completed new book, Survivability, A friendly guide to the end of the world. Part roadmap to surviving the climate apocalypse, and part humorous confession of a sustainability leader (a fictional version of me) the book unveils a new and radical concept to save the future – Survivability. Full of cutting-edge survivability concepts, quickly illustrated design strategies, and remarkably witty digressions, the book is a fun, yet insightful take on surviving and thriving at the end of the world.
