Happy Earth Day, Listeners! We have two great book samples for you today to celebrate!
First up we have One Green Thing, by Heather White.
The climate crisis is the biggest challenge of our time, and we all have a unique role to play. Start here and now with this book. In this revolutionary call to action, unlock your superpower through a daily practice of sustainability. Noted environmentalist Heather White offers an easy-to-follow guide for climate action while brilliantly weaving together warm and funny stories from her childhood in East Tennessee, anecdotes from 20+ years of environmental advocacy, and scenes from parenting two Gen Z daughters in Bozeman, Montana. In One Green Thing, White shows you how to contribute to the climate movement through self-discovery - your personality, interests, and strengths.
You'll start by taking the Service Superpower Profile Assessment, which will reveal your special gifts in service to others and the planet. Based on your profile, you’ll adventure your way through a 21-Day Kickstarter Plan that shares specific actions you can take along with many more resources and impact trackers.
Setting the intention each day to take a small step— a "one green thing" to care for the planet--can help ease your eco-anxiety, push the culture toward climate solutions, and create a sense of joy.
Next up we have The Container Victory Garden, by Maggie Stuckey.
Even if all you have is a postage stamp's worth of space on a balcony, patio, or front stoop, The Container Victory Garden equips you to dig into the joys of container gardening, right where you are.
Imagine this: In the morning, you pluck a few mint leaves from your backdoor herb garden and add them to your tea. A few hours later, you step out onto your patio and collect a handful of lettuce leaves for your lunch salad. Just before dinner, you harvest a few basil leaves and cherry tomatoes for a delicious caprese pasta.
In her trademark warm and informative style, bestselling author and expert gardener Maggie Stuckey shares everything you need to know to succeed with container gardening: planning, gearing up, planting, nurturing, and harvesting
This is the promise of container gardening: a fresh bounty of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers you can enjoy in every season.
