This Is Our Home

"""A pragmatic but genuinely uplifting guide to greater sustainability."" -Kirkus Reviews ""If you have been wondering what sustainability means to you, read this book! You'll see how one person stopped looking the other way, stopped ignoring the signs, and started making changes that made him feel he was on the right path. Who knows? You just might be inspired to do the same."" -Lisa D. Foster, author of Bag Lady, leadership coach ""A very easy read...Romer weaves a tale that is both intriguing and inspiring, adroitly weaving thorough research throughout... His heartfelt personal odyssey conjures up an image of a curious Tom Sawyer having an epiphany when he meets Rachel Carson on his local Nassau Lake. Wonderment leads to questions and ultimately self-discovery and a broader perspective of our responsibilities, showing how self-interest can result in protecting our common home."" -Paul Miesing, Professor Emeritus, educator, scholar, advisor, and speaker. ""This book nails what the experts have been saying for many decades. Our home is not in good shape for the future generation. The contents are straight to the point and hope that this creates an impact to all who read it."" -Nonfiction Authors Association ""Romer's scientific and social scientific explanations are concise and very easy to understand...This book is highly recommended for the beginning environmentalist and those with experience fighting the good (environmental/sustainability) fight."" -Nonfiction Authors Association ""An elegant and fiercely compelling rendering of one man's commitment to understanding and addressing perhaps the most serious issue of our times, sustainability and climate change. I closed this book with a much better sense of the environment we find ourselves in today and a better sense of hope in terms of what I can and cannot do to make a difference. This is Our Home is one of the most important books I have read in a long time."" -Stephanie Vanderslice, MFA, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Film, Theatre and Creative Writing, University of Central Arkansas ""Romer has written a timely book about the importance of sustainability and finding the balance between economic growth, environmental care and social well-being... This book details what people can do to begin their own journey to living a more sustainable life. The book is informative, well-written and will motivate you to act."" -Times Union Book Review by Jack Rightmyer"
