Bonnie Write | Go Gently. Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet
- Copyright: © Quercus Editions Limited; © Bonnie Write
"I wrote my book from my own experience of becoming involved in the climate movement. I was called to share with you the intimate and individual actions I was taking quietly at home in order to have a more tangible relationship to the climate crisis. The inspiration behind go gently was to show that we can adopt both hard and soft mindsets, we can go forth with action, but still foster a loving, gentle relationship to the planet, each other, and ourselves." - Bonnie Write
An inspiring and approachable tip-filled guide to changing your habits, living more sustainably, and taking action, by Greenpeace ambassador Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies)Go Gently is a practical guide for sustainability at home that offers simple, tangible steps towards reducing our environmental impact by looking at what we consume and the waste we create, as well as how to take action for environmental change. The title reflects Bonnie's belief that the best way to change our planet and ourselves is through a gentle approach, rather than a judgmental one. This is a book of do's rather than don'ts.
Going through every room in her home, Bonnie helps us assess which products are sustainable, and offers alternatives for those that are not. She shares recipes to avoid food waste, homemade self-care products to avoid packaging, small space friendly gardening ideas and a template for creating your own compost system. Finally, there are exercises and meditation prompts to keep you energised, as well as tips on how to get involved in wider community activism.
