You love our Earth. You recycle dutifully, you've heard about heat pumps, you'd like to eat better for the planet. But between your values and your daily life, is there a gap? Your Earth Share is a clear, practical guide to closing it.
Drawing on more than thirty years of hands-on sustainability work, author Fred Horch organizes the science of living well on a finite planet into a framework everyone can use:
- Your Earth share—the soccer-field-sized portion of habitable land each of us depends on, and the simple accounting that explains why most American households use about three.
- Seven pathways to sustainability—Community, Food, Water, Movement, Energy, Goods, and Habitat—each with evidence-based strategies you can put to work at home, work, or play.
- Twenty high-impact practices that move the needle on the nine planetary boundaries scientists use to track Earth's life-support systems.
- Companion tools at suspra.com that let you score where you are today, set goals, and measure real progress over time.
This is not another awareness-raising book. It's grounded more in science than in sentiment, focused on what you actually control, and designed to be shared, discussed, and acted upon. When people who care about our planet read and discuss it together as a family, circle of friends, or organization with a shared mission, the conversation shifts from "What can we do?" to "How are we doing?"
Whether you adopt every practice or try just one, Your Earth Share gives you the knowledge, language, and shared map to turn love for Earth into action with positive impact.
The 2026 edition. Part of the Sustainable Practices series.
