Praise for Unfreeze Yourself:
“As parents, our love for our children is unconditional; without thought, we regularly put their futures and their lives before ours. But too often the reality of climate change paralyses our actions, our hopes, our love and our future dreams for our children. With her wise counsel and supportive, practical simple plans of action, Christine helps us “unfreeze,” reactivating our unconditional love. She reminds us why we can’t fail, and with her guidance, we won’t.” Harriet Shugarman, Founder and Executive Director, ClimateMama
“Unfreeze Yourself is not just another book about how bad things are. Instead, it’s a joyful, re-energizing read for busy people like you who don’t want to be left out of a growing, life-giving movement of ‘sacred activism’. Being unfrozen feels so good, largely because it’s about loving our children and grandchildren. Christine Penner Polle will help you find your own way there.” Mardi Tindal, former Moderator of The United Church of Canada
“In Global Warming’s Six Americas, Anthony Leiserowitz identifies the largest group as people who are concerned but don’t know what to do. Ms. Penner Polle lays out exactly what a person can do. The fact that she is a writer who has developed her craft makes Unfreeze Yourself both extremely useful and pleasant to read. For anyone who recognizes the scale of the problem we are dealing with in regards to global warming, this is an excellent primer to guide their particular response.” Mark Reynolds, Executive Director, Citizens’ Climate Lobby
“Christine Penner Polle has written a timely book to engage more people in the crucial issue of our time, global warming. Practical and encouraging, Unfreeze Yourself gives busy people ways to create a livable fu- ture that go beyond changing light bulbs and biking more. Do yourself and your grandchildren a favour and read this book – now!” Graham Saunders, author of Gardening with Short Growing Seasons and President of Environment North, teaches and researches northern climate issues.

If you want to know what that new world looks like and how we get there, read this book!” Shaun Loney, Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year (2015), co-founder of 10 green economy social enterprises, and author of BUILD Prosperity: Energizing Manitoba’s Local Economy.
