Publisher's summary

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 guide for sustainability at home that offers simple, tangible steps toward 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 Wright’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. It’s also an invitation to Wright’s followers to join her on this journey to sustainability.

Going through every room in her home, Wright helps us assess which products are sustainable, and alternatives for those that are not. She shares recipes to avoid waste, homemade self-care products to avoid packaging, small space-friendly gardening ideas, and a template for creating your own compost system. Finally, to sustain yourself, there are exercises and meditation prompts to keep you energized, plus info on how to get involved in community and organizations.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Featured Article: Dig Into Some Food for Thought with These Climate-Conscious, Cruelty-Free Listens

Whatever your reason for seeking out a shift (or some encouragement and tasty recipes if you've already made the leap), this list includes everything from nonfiction exploring factory farming, animal rights, and our wider global ecosystem, to how-to guides for shifting to a vegetarian or vegan diet, to tales from the animal world that might help you see things from their perspective. After all, there's no better way to celebrate Earth Day than by getting to know our neighbors—and creating a home that serves each and every one of us.

Beautiful, Inspiring, and Insightful

Probably my favorite book ever now. Not only does Bonnie offer easy ways to begin your eco friendly journey but also offers gentle encouragement throughout and can even double as a therapist with her wise words about kindness to yourself and the earth!! I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for this, I will forever recommend this book to anyone starting out!!

Thought Provoking & Insightful

A wonderfully insightful book of Bonnie’s “enthusiast” story on how small ripples can join others to create a wave of change.

The action oriented steps are detailed and helpful!

Great advice!

Disclaimer: I’m not fully done listening, but I wanted to go ahead and review because I’m so impressed with the book! I own the book but wanted to hear Bonnie read it, but was a little nervous because of the format, but it translated really well. The PDF is helpful as well and there’s some great advice that doesn’t feel daunting at all. I hope to incorporate some of this in my daily life
