'Dany's book is approachable, her methods accessible to all and she wants us to see that if we protect the planet then we are also protecting ourselves. She presents us with activities, things we can think about, things we can put into action, at the end of each chapter. She also gives us calls to action. In essence gives us the tools we need to make a difference and explains throughout why it matters.' --Armadillo Magazine
