"On Digital Advocacy is outdoor advocate Katie Bouâe's exploration of the intersection of advocacy, stewardship, social media, and our humanity. In this refreshingly frank consideration, Bouâe maintains that we all share a responsibility to protect our planet--especially those in the outdoor industry--and in the digital age, access to advocacy is abundant. Social media hands out the tools to get educated, gather resources, organize, and empower people to choose whatever slice of the "save the planet" pie that tempts the appetite to do good. The opportunity and potential for digital advocacy are dizzying, and Bouâe describes her own journey through that exciting and complex world. She then asks-and answers-the questions: What happens when we begin to tangle our personal identities with our pursuit of saving a dying earth? What happens when a meteoric rise as a social media influencer comes at the expense of our well-being?
