Summary
Details

Transform Your Home Into a Sustainability Powerhouse-Without Guilt, Confusion, or SacrificeDo you care deeply about protecting our planet but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice and vague eco-tips? You're not alone. While climate change dominates headlines, it's just one of nine planetary crises demanding urgent action. This book cuts through the noise with a revolutionary approach: your ""Earth share""-the soccer field of habitable land that's your fair share of our planet's resources.

Finally, a sustainability guide that measures what matters. Unlike carbon footprint calculators that tell only part of the story, the Suspra Score system tracks your complete environmental impact across seven interconnected pathways: Community - Food - Water - Movement - Energy - Goods - Habitat. You'll discover exactly where you stand and precisely what to do next.

Twenty science-backed practices deliver the biggest impact:

Why eating less beef matters more than all your recycling efforts combined How LED bulbs provide better light while using 80% less energy Why your old refrigerator wastes more energy than a new one twice its size How to drive on sunshine for 350 times less land than biofuels require Simple changes that save thousands of dollars while protecting Earth

This isn't about sacrifice-it's about smart choices. Heat pumps deliver more comfort at a quarter of the energy cost. Induction cooking is faster and safer. Walking and cycling make you healthier. Native plants require less maintenance while supporting hundreds more species than lawns.

Perfect for:

Homeowners ready to save money while saving the planet Families seeking clear, actionable steps beyond basic recycling Anyone tired of eco-anxiety who wants measurable progress Community leaders looking to inspire neighborhood-wide change

Author Fred Horch brings decades of real-world sustainability experience from establishing a pioneering sustainable goods store in Maine to owning an electrical contracting firm that installs solar arrays, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, heat pumps, and efficiency upgrades in commercial properties. Combined with the insights of editor Peggy Siegle, their practical wisdom empowers you to transform your core values into effective action.

Stop wondering if your actions matter-measure exactly how much they do. Each chapter provides weekly quick-starts, monthly habit-builders, and yearly transformations. Track your progress with free online tools at www.suspra.com, the companion website for books in the Sustainable Practices series.

Your Earth share is exactly enough for a magnificent life. This book shows you how to use it wisely.
