In a society more concerned with how to cope with existential dread than how to make actionable changes to save the planet, a surprisingly large number of Americans identify as environmentalists. What can individual people do to lessen human impacts on the planet? This is not an easy question.
Most research is focused on large-scale changes that go beyond anything an individual can accomplish, and people are left feeling defeated rather than inspired to make changes in their everyday lives. Change starts at home, and F Stuart Chapin, III has assembled a book for people who want to learn
more about global changes and, more importantly, what they can do about them, starting today.
Grassroots Stewardship approaches our current situation with an educated sense of hope and positivity. This book emphasizes actions by individuals, rather than governmental or corporate institutions, to trigger transformational change. Readers will learn what they can do to most significantly
transform their communities and the planet with more sustainable pathways.

Moderator - 'A large proportion of Americans (40%– 80%) self- identify as environmentalists'. Really? I don't remember being consulted. How was the question put? Would you like to see the Earth Die? And there is a BIG gap between 40% to 80%. You can manipulate stats to fit your goal be it a justified one where the facts are there but you choose to pad them to the point of losing credulity as this book does or not. Ideas should be presented not opinionized if you really want an honest discussion. This book fails.
