Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Readers should be inspired, informed, and ready to go." Booklist, Starred ReviewOffers 175 actions readers can take to create a more sustainable global environment. You care about the environmentthe world you live in, and the world you are going to leave behind for future generations. Perhaps you already avoid wasting energy and buying more things than you need reducing your Ecological Footprint. Yet there is a limit, given your family and circumstances. What can you do that will truly help heal our planet?Our Environmental Handprints is the first book to fully explore your Handprint how you can create sustainability in your life and in the world. Your Handprint is limited only by yourimagination. The good you do can be greater than your Footprint. It is time to put more energy into your Handprint!The smart beauty of the Handprint is that it can be self-perpetuating. Take planting a tree as an example. You put a seedling into the ground, water it, and then leave it alone. That tree will then grow itself and pull carbon dioxide from the air and create oxygen for us to breathe for as long as it lives. And, seeds from that tree create more trees.Here, Jon Biemer draws our attention to proven strategies across the spectrum. We make a difference with the choices we make about the clothing we buy, the investments we make, and even the food we choose to eat. Handprint Thinking applies to shelter (eco-remodeling and LEED buildings), motion (electric cars and living without a car), and earth-friendly energy. He provides 175 proven Handprint suggestions that will help readers align their interests, lifestyle, and motivations toward a more sustainable earth. "Readers should be inspired, informed, and ready to go." Booklist, Starred ReviewOur Environmental Handprints shows us how, individually and together, we can revive rivers, revitalize agriculture, curtail carbon emissions, form a circular economy, and foster a better world.
