His recently released book, The One Thing You Can Do to Save the Earth is- about three young grandchildren, who are reflecting on the gloomy news of climate change, wars, hunger, poverty and other global issues, and who ask their visiting grandfather to comfort them. Grandpa tells them the story of the earth's past, present, and future relationship with humans. The story ends with an optimism that urban and suburban families are not powerless in making a difference, creating a sense of empowerment and hope. The simple solution is a market-based approach that families can do when they shop for food, which directs their dollars toward a better, healthier future with the earth and people.
