Replenishing the Earth: Spiritual Values for Healing Ourselves and the World
by Nobel Peace Laureate and founder of Kenya's Green Belt Movement, Wangari Maathai
"It is so easy, in our modern world, to feel disconnected from the physical earth. Despite dire warnings and escalating concern over the state of our planet, many people feel out of touch with the natural world." Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai has spent decades working with the Green Belt Movement to help women in rural Kenya plant--and sustain--millions of trees. With their hands in the dirt, these women often find themselves empowered and "at home" in a way they never did before. Maathai wants to impart that feeling to everyone, and believes that the key lies in traditional spiritual values: love for the environment, self-betterment, gratitude and respect, and a commitment to service.

- There is no 20% discount for this one as it's a paperback; hence, it's already a thin margin for the Book House. Meaning, it's probably our least expensive book to date! We still encourage you to get the book there, if you can.
- Audio books and Ebooks at Bookshop.org
- There are loaner copies available for Members. Email memberservices-AT-honestweight.coop.
