Daniel I Stein is an environmental scientist and author who encourages Accessible Environmentalism, sharing budget-friendly activities that help families explore nature and create positive change. He believes caring for ourselves, our families, and our environment can be simple and enjoyable.

His books turn complex science into clear, approachable ideas, so readers can understand and care for the world around them. His “Simple Sustainable Living” book series has received two gold and two silver medals from the Global Book Awards.

Daniel brings two decades of environmental and public health experience to his writing. He holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Calgary, focused on drinking water protection, and has taught programs for environmental practitioners at the University of Victoria.

He lives in Victoria, BC, with his wife. Their favourite outing is a walk through Beacon Hill Park, watching squirrel shenanigans, hearing peacocks before they see them, and stopping to spot interesting birds high in the trees. Daniel also loves to travel in search of memorable food from hidden gems, swapping stories with locals along the way. He writes children’s books under the name Danny Stein, so look for those titles too.
