About this listen
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 listening.
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 minimizing 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 click “Buy Now” and start becoming an Eco-Citizen.

These are just some words used to describe the reality of dating after divorce. Like all major life changes, going through a divorce can be a very stressful time. No matter how long you were married, the act of parting from the person in life you may have been closest to can be jarring, challenging, and heartbreaking. The emotional exhaustion, the fear of failure, and that nagging feeling that maybe you're just meant to be alone can all make dating seem like a chore or something you don't want to do.

Save Earth, Save yourself!
This audio books talk on such an alarming topic that is the difficulties our mother earth is facing due to our lifestyle. The book appreciates the eco friendly users and their role in awakening other people to be eco friendly. I am glad how the author explains that we don't need to change our entire lifestyle, just few changes can help our earth from getting polluted. The author's main concern is how we can become eco friendly and make earth a better place to live. Incredibly informative!

We can all make a difference
I like the realistic approach to everyday things I can do to make a lasting impact on the environment. I also like how this book talks about not just what I can do myself, but how I can influence others to do the same. Where I spend money and where I don't spend money also matters. If we get enough of us together, we can really influence big companies to be more eco-friendly too!

Become An Eco-Citizen
We have to adopt a more sustainable mindset to create a better earth, and I think this book will help a lot of people start off on the right foot. The author does a great job of explaining that we don’t have to change our entire lifestyles in order to protect the earth. But by simply adopting a few changes to our everyday living, we can create a better environment. After reading this book I’m looking forward to becoming a better eco-citizen, and passing the knowledge I’ve learned from this book along.
