Thirtysomething Cara Foster is, one might say, eco-anxious—perhaps even eco-neurotic. She eats out of dumpsters (not because she wants to but because it’s the right thing to do), does laundry as seldom as possible, takes navy showers every couple of days, and is reevaluating her boyfriend for killing a spider instead of saving a life. Cara has never met her six (soon to be seven) nephews and nieces because she doesn’t fly domestic (unless it’s an emergency) or international (ever). She longs for a carbon footprint so light you’d hardly know she exists. Then, during a mimosa-soaked Sunday brunch, she meets her boyfriend’s alluring mother, Millie, and Cara finds herself mesmerized—but as they begin spending more time together, Cara’s life starts to spiral out of control. _____ My Days of Dark Green Euphoria is available to purchase through any major online book retailer including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, Bookshop.org, and EcoLitBooks. https://www.aecopenhaver.com/news daily 0.75 2024-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/a4f31234-9a84-442f-8f9e-7e2a74976c09/AE+Copenhaver+Linktree+Profile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/b5e38cbf-3952-48b6-88a5-2c4c9c1e1843/mohammad-mardani-L4KYV7jL6F8-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/53dd203f-baa5-4ab3-8f02-8276f26ea444/mohamed-nohassi-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/fd347427-14ee-4181-bd1f-eeacdddfc910/noah-buscher-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/ce23b4c6-5d2b-409a-bfde-195ff1449c35/2022+FB+IG+SQUARE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/014de6af-752d-4b34-938f-07fe6acfffa3/olga-dudareva-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/27a13534-90de-43b7-b118-b6253829a75f/Feminist+Book+Club+Feature+Photo+-+AE+Copenhaver.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/39e3f3bb-35e5-4dbc-bccd-390a2d260453/maylee-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/4017ff83-d1d3-4281-845d-38a5726bc6fb/Yale+Climate+Connections+Summer+2022+Reading+List.png News - 13 June 2022 Yale Climate Connections: Summer reading list of climate-aware fiction includes My Days of Dark Green Euphoria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612298eee7e02900170d1546/170ad4b2-1177-463e-85fa-5378b4b00988/Stephanie+Leblanc+via+Unsplash.jpg News - 5 June 2022 World Environment Day: Writing for V-Land UK, A.E.
