A lot of times we think the environment is somewhere far away where you go on vacation, but the environment is here and now.""When you're making different choices like you just talked about, Amy, and I'm making different choices, we are creating really important market signals and we're creating really important signals in our community. So our individual action to help protect the environment, to help protect our health, to help prevent the climate crisis, does matter.""The first book, 'One Green Thing,' was written after a dinner table conversation I had with my teenage kids, who basically were telling me how alone they felt in climate action... That inspired me to really dive into the research of mental health impacts of the climate crisis. Both of these books are self-help books. The first one is a workbook. It's a personal guide about what are your interests, what are your strengths, what are your talents in service, how do you show up for the people you love, and how can you get involved by doing one thing each day."Resources MentionedEnvironmental Working Group (EWG) - https://www.ewg.org/ Think Dirty app - https://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/ Made Safe certification - https://madesafe.org/ Consumer Reports - https://www.consumerreports.org/ EWG's Healthy Living app - https://www.ewg.org/apps/ Dr. Bronner's soap - https://www.drbronner.com/ Beauty Counter - https://www.beautycounter.com/ Grove Collaborative - https://www.grove.co/ True Botanicals - https://truebotanicals.com/ Well People - https://www.wellpeople.com/ Branch Basics - https://branchbasics.com/ One Green Thing Book - https://www.amazon.com/One-Green-Thing-Discover-Hidden/dp/0785291296 60 Days to a Greener Life - https://www.amazon.com/60-Days-Greener-Life-Eco-Anxiety/dp/B0CB1WV8NT Green Guard certification - https://greenguard.org/ Sustainable Furnishings Council - a href="https://sustainablefurnishings.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
