Your Earth Share: Seven Pathways to Sustainable Living

Discover Your Path to Sustainability

Our practical guide shows you exactly how to live well within Earth's means and create positive change without breaking your budget.

Imagine having a good understanding of how much of Earth's resources you can sustainably use—your personal "Earth share"—and a clear roadmap to thrive within those boundaries. This affordable little book introduces a simple but empowering concept: like everyone else on our planet, you depend on about one soccer field's worth of habitable land, plus an allotment of ocean and inhospitable land, to meet all your needs. The great news? That's more than enough for a wonderful life when you choose sustainable practices.

The perfect gift for anyone ready to translate their core values into meaningful action.
