Mothering Earth: The Busy Family's Guide to Saving the Planet

This Earth—and money—saving guide to sustainable living empowers families everywhere to fight climate change by making practical lifestyle changes—at home at their own pace.

Expert author Julia Rockwell provides a road map to simplify and streamline our lives in a way that benefits overall well-being and the health of the planet—all without sacrificing comforts or turning our lives upside down. And to do so you…
• do not need to carve out separate time to focus on sustainability,
• do not need to spend more money,
• do not need to partake in DIY projects,
• do not need to be perfect,
• do not need to get rid of all the plastic in your home,
• do not need to turn your family’s life upside down,
• do not need to feel guilty (you didn’t create this mess we are in),
• do not need to live off the grid.

Written and designed to reach all families, this inspiring and useful book highlights “eco-action” solutions that support a climate-friendly lifestyle at your own pace. Some of the eco-actions topics covered are:
