Adam Werbach is the youngest and most visible general in the battle for America's environment. His youthful energy and boundless enthusiasm have mobilized the aging Sierra Club, fired the imagination of the media, and fueled a grassroots environmental movement among Gen-Xers that most people would have thought impossible.

Travel with Werbach to the heart of a breathtaking canyon, learn the secrets of successful leaders, hear the wisdom of the world's most important environmentalists, and enjoy fables and stories about the fight for a safe and healthy environment.

Werbach does not just ask for support in helping to fight the "big boys" of pollution - he demands it. His refreshing optimism and easy-going style encourage readers both young and old to reconnect with the wildness within themselves. Rather than complain about what is wrong with our environment, Werbach teaches us to appreciate what's right. Act Now, Apologize Later demonstrates the necessity of everyone's participation in the environmental movement.
