You care deeply about the environment—the world you inhabit and the world you hope to leave for future generations. You may already take steps to reduce your ecological footprint, such as conserving energy and avoiding unnecessary purchases, but you may feel like you have reached a plateau. What more can you do to truly make a difference in healing our planet?

"Our Environmental Handprints" is the first book to delve into the concept of your "Handprint," which represents the ways in which you can create sustainability in your life and in the world. Your Handprint is bound only by your imagination, and the positive impact you can make can exceed your ecological footprint. It's time to prioritize your Handprint and allocate more energy towards it!

One of the remarkable aspects of the Handprint is that it can be self-perpetuating. For instance, consider planting a tree. You plant a seedling, provide it with water, and then allow it to grow on its own. Over time, that tree will mature and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, producing oxygen for us to breathe. Additionally, the seeds from that tree will produce more trees, creating a continuous cycle of sustainability.

In this book, Jon Biemer highlights proven strategies across various domains. From the choices we make regarding our clothing, investments, and food, we have the power to make a difference. Handprint Thinking applies to sustainable shelter, transportation (electric cars and car-free living), and earth-friendly energy. He offers 175 practical Handprint suggestions that will guide readers in aligning their interests, lifestyle, and motivations toward a more sustainable Earth.
