Do you find yourself wondering what on Earth you can do about the very serious environmental challenges we face on our planet today? Do you worry there's nothing any one person can do that will make a difference? Most people say that they would like to do something to make the world a better place, but they just don't believe they have the time; energy, money or power to do anything that will make a real difference. Are you willing to devote 20 minutes a week to find out? Environmental activist Cheryl Leutjen has the planet's back and is betting you do, too. Her powerful book of inspired ideas and eco mindfulness calls upon us all to Love Earth Now. Love Earth Now invites us to explore our own thoughts, feelings and to check in with internal guidance about the daily waste and negative environment impacts we see on a daily basis. While most of us can't stop the Arctic icepack from melting, we can decide to make better choices from less packaging on our purchases, walking more and driving less, planting organic veggies in the front yard instead of a water-wasting lawn and even to going as green as possible at work and at home. Does your office lack a recycling and composting program? Do the research and start one yourself Each chapter concludes with a "Diving In" section, a simple and immediate exercise, much like a guided meditation, to prompt us toward out own sustainable solutions. These mindfulness moments provides the opportunity to reflect and discover what one thing we can do to make a difference today and for all our tomorrows. Author Cheryl Leutjen's book of planetary self-help and ecomindfulness is a deeply thoughtful and lucid look at the state of our "big blue marble," our beautiful earth. It is also a sourcebook of direct actions, both large and small, we can all take to ensure our children and their children's children have a healthy future on this planet. Drawing from her experiences as an engineering geologist, environmental law attorney, small shop owner, and mindfulness practitioner, Cheryl Leutjen also reminds us about the importance of simplicity. She points out how all these possessions and the constant shopping are no better for us than the planet itself, contributing to the landfill and creating a tech-tethered society that is increasingly isolated. Both helpful and hopeful, Love Earth Now is brimming with creative suggestions we can all try that will get us closer to a sustainable lifestyle, one day at a time.
