Imperfect Environmentalist: How To Reduce Waste and Create Change for a Better Planet

Many find it disheartening when the truth of recycling and the end fate of waste is revealed. Morovati, who has successfully launched global environmental campaigns and works as the founder/president of the nonprofits Crayon Collection and Habits of Waste, presents a sustainability title that is not strictly a guide. It reads like the memoir of someone who has realized that by changing one tiny habit at a time, she can make a difference. From reusing restaurant crayons to getting new water fountains for a local school, each chapter brings something unexpected. She demonstrates how each of her sustainability projects started small, but she was able to advocate for (or occasionally change a law) on a much larger scale. The book promotes Morovati’s nonprofits because they are intertwined with her story, and it also provides free resources, such as an app, for readers to easily make small sustainable changes. Each chapter ends with several realistic examples and tips for helping readers’ own communities.
