The Carbon Credit Crusader is an environmental thriller/drama by Monty K. Nereim. Recently released from prison, Clayton Shultz revisits the homeless encampment on 16th Street in San Diego and finds himself exuberantly welcomed by its inhabitants. His friends, Lefty Forsbery and Clara Barrington, are happy to see him in their midst once again. After engaging in communal improvement activities, Clayton barely survives an attempt on his life by gangbangers. While pursuing higher education, he gets involved with climate change activists and, after an escalating chain of events, ends up as a crusader for climate change himself. As his profile grows, Clayton creates a non-profit company called Carbon Credit Personal Exchange (CCPX). However, he unexpectedly finds himself arrested on money laundering charges by the FBI. Will Clayton be able to prove his innocence and continue his crusade? The Carbon Credit Crusader is a timely and relevant drama that follows a homeless man's journey of self-discovery. With an engaging narrative, Monty K. Nereim sheds light on the crucial environmental issue of climate change and showcases how people can bring true change to this world. The author takes his time to set up the characters and the plot. However, this is primarily a themedriven narrative, with the plot revolving around Clayton and his adventures as a climate activist. Clayton is a fascinating protagonist who never lets life's setbacks hinder his pursuit of goals. I enjoyed his relationship dynamics with Madison, Clara, and Lefty. Overall, I found this book to be both heartwarming and inspirational. It highlights an increasingly relevant environmental issue, and I highly recommend it to drama readers.
