Sustainability Blueprint: Practical Climate Adaptation Actions for You, Your Family, and Your Community

A Simple, Organized, Doable Yet Comprehensive Approach to Support Familles and Communities

In this inspiring book, Kim Fournier offers a ground-breaking solution to the two major challenges threatening humanity and the planet: the climate crisis and the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Her practical and comprehensive approach to a sustainable way forward, by improving self-reliance, offers hope and optimism.

Kim explains why self-reliance is the cornerstone of foundational change and the key to our future: it reduces our carbon footprint and fosters a sustainable lifestyle-now and into the future-while improving our health and protecting our families and livelihoods from disasters. She then guides readers through a progressive, three-phased blueprint from survival to self-sufficiency to sustainability. In your hands is a doable action plan-a bridge to resilient communities and a sustainable future.

Turning things around now will define life for generations and become our legacy. Are you ready to step up to the plate?

Choice + Action = Legacy
