<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Choosing Sustainability: Your Guide to the What, Why and How is a non-fiction guide to making sustainable lifestyle choices that can benefit us, our communities and the planet. The book clearly explains the environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainability and provides a wealth of ideas for living more sustainably day to day.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Sustainable living is on nearly everyone's radar these days, with a growing number of us taking such steps as choosing organic food, driving hybrid vehicles, reducing household toxins and supporting environmental causes. But true sustainability has a lot of moving parts. And getting to a holistically sustainable way of life can be a lot to tackle on your own. That's why it's time for a book that puts it all together. Choosing Sustainability: Your Guide to the What, Why and How covers nearly every aspect of this subject while remaining easy to follow and digest. Part I begins with an exploration of the obvious questions: What is sustainable living and why is it so important for each of us today? It also describes the "three pillars of sustainability," environmental, economic and social approaches that can work in tandem to help us achieve a much greater impact. In Part II, the book shifts to "how-to" mode, providing actionable ideas to help readers adopt holistically sustainable choices in every area of life, from food, home and consuming to transportation, work and money. The book can be read from cover to cover. Or readers can jump right to a subject that they're ready to explore. </strong></p><p><strong>Choosing Sustainability makes this important yet complex topic accessible, manageable and enjoyable. And it's a book for everyone because creating a more sustainable world will require the commitment and involvement of each and every one of us.</strong></p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>"When considering how you can make a difference, do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and paralyzed, like a deer caught in the headlights, deciding what to do and which way to go? Choosing Sustainability can help you move past that paralysis. It provides a roadmap of diverse, impactful lifestyle choices that will both inspire and guide you in building a more sustainable future." </strong></p><p><strong>--Donna Drewes, Founder of the nationally recognized Sustainable Jersey local government certification program and creator of the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program, both of which are helping to create a green future, one community at a time. Former Co-Director of the Sustainability Institute at The College of New Jersey. </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>"At a time when even the most well-intentioned consumers find it difficult to make ethical decisions as they navigate the marketplace, Choosing Sustainability offers us a much-needed, approachable guide to holistic sustainability."</strong></p><p><strong>--Alex Sawatzky, organic farmer/partner, Sandbrook Meadow Farm/CSA, Stockton, New Jersey</strong></p><br>
