After attending a presentation given by Senator Kerry and his wife and co-author, Teresa Heinz Kerry, about the topics in this book, I was inspired to go home and read it immediately. Their insights, along with their sincere approach to building public awareness around issues such as climate change, the toxicity of today's world and the vulnerability of our nations resources, inspired me to become a significantly more responsible consumer.
After reading This Moment on Earth, I read more than 30 other books on topics that relate to our food system, our cosmetics industry, energy and a myriad of other subjects that weave together to form a complex web that threatens the health of future generations. There are many challenges to face and the clock is ticking - Senator Kerry made that very clear.
Thanks to their inspiration, a year and a half later, I have not only become an environmental advocate in my own household, but at my childrens' schools, our community and beyond. This book opened my eyes and began an entirely new chapter of my life.
