Becoming an Eco-Citizen

Do you want to live in harmony with our planet but are discouraged by the enormity of the daunting situation? Do you like the idea of a sustainable lifestyle but are overwhelmed on where to start, especially compared to the eco-warriors of the world?
Do you feel like our habitat is running to ruin and powerless to stop it? Then keep reading.

Eco-Citizens are actively taking the initiative to prevent environmental damage to the planet. People are demanding better of themselves and asking corporations to serve global ecology through minimising destructive and unfair practices and creating sustainable products with people and the planet in mind. Why? Companies must adjust their ethical practices to meet the demand to stay relevant and profitable as the customer becomes more educated on consumer goods and their negative ecological impact.

While the world's governments scratch their heads trying to find a solution to a global problem that pays no heed to national borders, Eco-Citizens are going straight to the source and encouraging others to join in along the way. They're nimbly fighting for the ecosystem's needs and accomplishing what's seemingly impossible to legislate globally by making mindful everyday changes. The movement is only getting bigger. In this book, you will find that being an Eco-Citizen is not about sacrificing your lifestyle for the abstract goal of "helping the environment". It is about enriching your life through improved choices that will help you live cleaner, leaner and freer while doing your part. It's a rewarding journey with the bonus of benefiting your health, wealth and happiness while simultaneously helping you live within your means financially and ecologically. And in a world of rampant consumerism, rising debt (and unhappiness) levels and obesity at an epidemic level, becoming an Eco-Citizen is not only a solution for the planet but individuals, too.

Whether you're living in a solar-panelled home, already making conscious behavioural changes to reduce Earth's resources in your daily life or are a busy, fast-paced 'city-slicker' who wants to do more but feels stuck on where to begin, you can benefit from accessible, simple steps that add up to make a big difference.

This book will give you resources to help you discover:

- The most environmentally sound purchases you can ever make.

- How to feel in control and be part of the environmental solution.

- Navigate through the marketing noise and 'greenwashing' and make more sound consumer choices.

- Live more in tune with the needs of the planet and yourself.

- Move on to your next step, wherever you are in your journey.

Eco-Citizens are realistic about the problems we currently face, the variety of where people are on their journey and understand that we still need to live in a world with the good things in life. The quest of an Eco-Citizen is not only sustainable in an environmental sense but also manageable for your unique set of circumstances and budget. You can still have what you want and positively impact the world.

Everything you do has an impact on the planet. Join the millions of people lessening environmental damage by learning simple tools to become leaner, cleaner and greener and join the group of Eco-Citizens.
