"As I read Building a Sustainable Kitchen I felt hope rising. Not since the best-selling, awareness-raising, Diet for a Small Planet has an unassuming book been poised to revolutionize world views . . . The message here is needed, and needed urgently . . . If we are to have a livable world in one hundred years, we need to cook up a storm—both figuratively and literally. We need citizen action and community resilience and a kitchen is not a bad place to start!" —Elizabeth May, OC, MP, Leader of the Green Party of Canada "A refreshing, down-to-earth guide that cuts through the noise and brings clarity to the conversation around sustainability at home. With a thoughtful, evidence-based approach, Naomi empowers everyday Canadians to take practical steps toward a greener kitchen, without guilt or overwhelm." —Lori Nikkel, Chief Executive Officer of Second Harvest Building a Sustainable Kitchen is the thoroughly researched and realistic step-by-step guide every climate-conscious cook needs to make the heart of their home more planet-friendly. When Canadian food writer Naomi Hansen first started a “sustainability” blog, she was overwhelmed by conflicting advice, shiny advertisements, unrealistic recommendations, and a culture of shame. Building a Sustainable Kitchen is her antidote: a solutions-focused, no-nonsense guide designed to help you cut through disinformation and greenwashing to make your kitchen truly sustainable, one step at a time. In each chapter, Naomi invites you on her journey to build a planet-friendly kitchen, with help from her husband Paul and their dog Rue. Drawing on wisdom from hundreds of expert interviews, academic studies, books, and more, as well as on the author's own experience as a regular Canadian in her humble kitchen, Building a Sustainable Kitchen demystifies the science behind how what we do in the kitchen every day affects our Earth, and most importantly, shows you what you can do about it. Each chapter contains a wealth of flexible recommendations for achievable, evidence-based changes that make a real impact for the planet. Chapters on reducing food waste, understanding plant-based, local, seasonal, and organic eating, and gardening teach us about the food on our plates. Chapters on the potential and pitfalls of composting and recycling, learning what it really means to send waste to a landfill, and navigating the nitty gritty of disposable and reusable items help us reduce garbage and grow toward a circular economy. From water use, to cleaning, to choosing appliances, to our beloved coffees and teas, Building a Sustainable Kitchen leaves no stone unturned. This heartfelt, practical guide proves that building a sustainable kitchen is not just possible, but that it can also be joyful and transformative.

A collection of personal essays detailing the life and achievements of a renowned environmental hero and activist. Mr. Mindbomb is a chronology of the significant events of Bob Hunter's life, written chapter by chapter by those who knew him. Where one contributor leaves off, the next picks up, moving the reader through another moment in time, sharing some new insight. This is the real life and legacy of Bob Hunter: Canadian eco-hero, author of 14 books, winner of a Governor General's Award, popular journalist, and recipient of a magical salute of gratitude from a pod of whales. Part adventure thriller, part comedy, part documentary, and part provocation for individuals to stand up for the environment, it's a rare look through the lens and perspective of those touched by Bob's influence. By finding kindred spirits in the voices of each of the contributors, many of whom continue the work, it's a powerful reminder that things don't happen in a vacuum. Fifteen years after Bob's much-too-early passing, Mr. Mindbomb is a reminder that any one person, fuelled by commitment and love, can find others who feel the same, and together they can do extraordinarily heroic deeds for the well-being of all.

The devils will have to use their unique skills, no matter the sacrifice, and pair up with old enemies. Their plan? Get to the heart of the Empire. Destroy the Oracle. Burn it all to the ground.
