Peto Presents: Everyday Choices for the Earth

Everyday Choices for the Earth: Hope through Our Multiplied Actions presented by Debbie McGuire -

With recent flooding, drought and wildfire stories in the news, people can feel hopeless about climate change.   However, every day individuals can make more climate-friendly choices about food, clothing, transportation, travel, etc.  These good choices can be multiplied in order to have an impact on climate change.  Thus, individuals can be helpful for, and hopeful about the future of our planet.   

Debbie McGuire is a passionate environmentalist who has washed thousands of cloth napkins and T-shirt cleaning rags in her lifetime.  This passion originated in Dr. Stanley Becker’s college class many years ago.  Since then she has lived as an environmentalist making daily choices to match her research findings.  With the arrival of her first grandchild she found a stronger desire to help ease the climate change burden on the planet. Her first book, God’s Good Earth- An Environmental Bible Study, compares God’s design for the Earth in Genesis to the condition of the Earth today.  This book brought to light questions about daily choices for their relative environmental impact.  Thus, Debbie researched and wrote the book:  Everyday Choices for the Earth - Hope through Our Multiplied Actions.  Having a grandchild was the impetus for her other two books: My Blueberry Day, and EASY Parenting (Pen Name: Judy Aran).   Debbie and her husband live in a home with gardens and a natural forest, which bees, birds and animals enjoy.
