Sustainable Living Made Easier

Renee Gade

Synopsis

Sustainability, Energy Reset, Green Economy and Resilient Future

We live in a world where our environmental footprint is growing. The demands of a modern lifestyle require us to be more aware of our impact on the planet. People must learn to be more conscious of their consumption.
The new era of sustainability is now becoming a dominant theme in all aspects of our businesses, communities, and living spaces. With its ever-evolving technologies, such as green finance, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and sustainable design and construction, this age is taking root in every aspect of our lives.
Sustainability is crucial for the future of our planet, and as a means of consumerism, we need to step up our game, or risk things going haywire.
“Sustainability” starts with a few basic questions. What does sustainability mean? What does it look like? What are the steps that will lead to sustainable living? What will happen when people begin to live more sustainably?
In this book, we will also examine the current transition from an economy dependent on fossil fuels to one dependent on solar energy, innovations in electric vehicles, development in green economy by investing in renewable energy sources; eco-friendly urban mobility; urban green spaces; and sustainable food systems. These green spaces require significant changes to the lifestyles of their residents.
But in reality, we already are consuming more than we can sustain. Every action we take, from shopping to flying to walking, contributes to environmental degradation. It doesn’t have to be this way. Everybody has the power to change the way we live and we all have a responsibility to help shift the needle. Everything we do matters. And even if you’re not ready to make drastic changes right now, there are plenty of things you can do today

Uncle Drew and the Bat Dodger

Thomas Cochrane

Nine-year-old Teddy Caldwell had no idea the summer was going to be so pivotal for so many folks, or that his very bad day was going to be the beginning of a grand adventure. When a solid line drive connects with his neighbor’s window, Teddy is sure he'll end up in jail and his parents will never let him stay home alone again! What starts as a disaster becomes a turning point in Teddy's life. He and his strange neighbor, Uncle Drew Weems, begin a correspondence that takes some surprising turns. Over the course of the summer, Teddy learns about Uncle Drew's life; with stories of barnstorming baseball players and Jim Crow racism, Uncle Drew spins a tale of Depression-era America that fascinates and disturbs young Teddy.Wrapped inside the notes, mementos, and ephemera passed between the neighbors is the tale of Uncle Drew’s odyssey with New Orleans Po' Boy Baseball Club player Bopeep Shines. Bopeep was a promising Negro League pitcher who stepped out of organized ball and into mystery—a mystery that Uncle Drew fills in. With ledgers of their bets he relays the story of their games as Bopeep pitched out white batters across the South. Details of their journey emerge slowly, experiences so foreign to Teddy that he has trouble understanding them.Through the use of typical conflicts and language of the time, author Thomas Cochran paints a vivid and fact-filled tale that follows both Teddy's personal growth and the bitter disillusionment of a talented black man during the worst of times. With an uplifting twist at the end, Cochran's tale is sure to appeal to many audiences and provide a welcome tool for classroom reading and discussion.
