Home Ecology: Making your world a better place is about living the good life – for yourself and the planet. Award-winning environmental author Karen Christensen explains how change on a personal level can literally make a world of difference. In friendly, concise chapters based on real-life experience, she covers everything from commuting and cooking to fast fashion and green gardening.
Home Ecology isn’t about perfection. Instead, Home Ecology provides a set of simple principles to help you figure out what makes sense in your home and in your life. While some authors want you to feel guilty, Karen understand that we want environmental thinking to contribute to a sense of well-being and balance in our lives – not to unhinge us altogether!
We can solve the problems we face together and make the world a better place. Home Ecology is where the journey begins.
