Summary

This chapter/part of the book provides twenty-one ideas or "recipes" to empower you to make impactful changes that improve your own health and help the environment. Each recipe is an individual action you can take to start making a difference today, and that when done together – in aggregate – can make a big difference. This chapter is a very hopeful one, compelling you to start with even one recipe and then add on more. Each recipe is doable, and tips, suggestions, and information are provided to make it 100% achievable. Some examples of recipes/ideas from this chapter include eating more plants and significantly less meat, decreasing food waste, canning, composting, engaging with ecotourism, voting, educating others and advocating, planting trees, and finally a number of resources you can read or watch for additional information.
