I’m a total newbie when it comes to sustainable living, but this audiobook made things way less intimidating. I really liked how it focused on small, practical steps instead of overwhelming you with info. I started composting and even set up a tiny herb garden and it’s been super rewarding. It’s got helpful tips on water use, choosing animals, and even renewable energy ideas.
