Sara Gilbert “The Imperfect Environmentalist” Teaches Toxins With Humor
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 30th, 2013 in Actresses, Books, Environment-Eco-Green.
Sara Gilbert, actress and vegan now known for her role as one of the hosts on The Talk, has published a book on living eco-friendly.
The Imperfect Environmentalist is Gilbert’s guide to anyone interested in making simple changes in their life to help the environment.
The mother gives examples of how to live cleaner in many area of living, including the cosmetic cabinet, cleaning, fitness, gardening and recycling.
It’s much easier to motivate people to save the Earth if they aren’t being lectured too hard or are at least having fun with it.
Gilbert used these principles when writing the different sections of The Imperfect Environmentalist, making it a priority to humor her readers as much as she educates them.
“In terms of writing about toxins,” Gilbert told Vegetarian Times, “if you can be funny, it’s going to make the topic so much more palatable.”
Funny not only includes jokes about the environment, but about her own experiences trying to be a a better steward without going overboard. If you feel guilty about replacing a clothing item that shows more skin than covers it, it’s time to give yourself a break. Such was the case when she was assessing her daughter’s closet.
“The other day I noticed that the shorts my daughter was wearing were totally holey. I thought to myself, “How can I fix those?” But then I thought, “No, those shorts are too far gone!”
The Imperfect Environmentalist is now available from Random House Publishing Group.
