Readers looking to live more sustainably while caring for both the planet and their bodies will gain tremendous insight from this book. Scientific adviser and vegan nutritionist Wohlleben shares the earth-conscious changes she made in her own life to live a more plant-based, slow-paced, naturally connected lifestyle. Well-researched and backed with citations, her book gently but plainly notes what has brought the planet to its current state. Wohlleben writes frankly about how killing certain animals in different parts of the world has adversely impacted the environment. Her book includes tips—big and small—for saving the planet so that future generations can enjoy its natural offerings. She also encourages changing the otherwise-ecofriendly products one uses if the packaging has ill effects on the environment.
VERDICT A fantastic read for sustainability-minded people on a mission to improve how they impact the environment and their health. This book is sure to generate much discussion, debate, and action.
