One Green Deed Spawns Another: Tales of Inspiration on the Quest for SustainabilityIn 2002, I was giving a talk about sustainable furnishings and the impact of products on the environment. I finished the opening statement with the line "One green deed spawns another." It was meant to get the audience more broadly engaged in the welfare of our environment; the thought that a single effort might compel someone else to act seemed so simple. For fifteen years, I have closed many other talks with those same five words. If you polled 100

In 2002, I was giving a talk about sustainable furnishings and the impact of products on the environment. I finished the opening statement with the line "One green deed spawns another." It was meant to get the audience more broadly engaged in the welfare of our environment; the thought that a single effort might compel someone else to act seemed so simple. For fifteen years, I have closed many other talks with those same five words. If you polled 100 people about whether they wanted to preserve the planet for future generations, you'd get almost unanimously positive replies (there's always a contrarian in every crowd). Yet, here we are facing an ecological crisis without a united effort to combat it. Green deeds are being enacted minute by minute, daily, annually, and for lifetimes. Not only do we not get to witness all of them, we rarely get to hear about them. I decided I wanted to query some of my heroes who've inspired me over the years with their wisdom and commitment to greening our planet, about their one green deed. Sharing green deeds is not only inspiring, it is unifying; perhaps within this collection of engaging ideas are answers for the road ahead.

This book is twofold in origin: the unusual path I followed to become environmentally active brought me in contact with some exceptional individuals. Some are as well-known as celebrities; others have flown under the radar. All of them have equally distinctive stories that have inspired me and influenced my philosophy on our relationship to our habitat and fellow species. This book is a compilation of these poignant moments with my environmental heroes and friends and their insightful ideas, and a tribute to the spirit of Earth's active stewards.

Ok
Color: Dark Teal, Size: King
Looks pretty but not on my bed. It constantly looks messy. I don’t like the lack of neatness.

Couple Win
Color: Spa Blue, Size: King
The Amazon Basics Lightweight Soft King Size Comforter has been a wonderful purchase for our home! The comforter is incredibly soft, comes in beautiful colors, and is the perfect lightweight option for year-round use. My husband and I have very different sleep preferences—I tend to run hot while he’s always cold—but this comforter somehow works perfectly for both of us. It’s breathable enough that I stay comfortable while still providing enough warmth for him. We finally started sharing the same blanket again, which is a win in itself! Highly recommend for couples with different temperature preferences. 🛏️💕✨

Light Weight but Not Hot
Color: Dark Grey, Size: King
Ok... I absolutely love this comforter. In fact, I use it on three different beds. The colors are perfect. The material is soft. It's extremely light weight, but it keeps you warm in the winter and does not overheat you in the summer. I have this in King and Queen, and the sizing has been good for both. I have thrown it in my washing machine multiple times, and it holds up well. Great quality, low price.

Navy is pretty, but doesn’t feel like a great quality set.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: King
I purchased the Navy. The color is great and the pleated pattern is a nice touch. My daughter has the white and it’s very soft. The navy is not, though. So that was disappointing. It’s also not breathable. It’s not thick, but just not breathable. I actually get pretty warm at night with this one when I don’t normally with any other blankets. It also seems on the small side. We have a king and always buy king, this just feels a little smaller. Doesn’t feel high quality. I would not buy again.
