Imagine It!

Imagine It! is a practical handbook for readers who are just starting to live in closer harmony with the planet or who want to take that effort further. Its aim is to encourage and guide readers, offering simple ways to trade harmful routines for healthier ones.

Laurie David and Heather Reisman focus on four areas where everyday habits do the most damage: what we eat, what we wear, how we travel, and our use of plastic, paper, water, and toxic chemicals. The authors call the changes in these areas lifestyle shifts. Each has its own chapter, which opens with a brief story about the shift and then lays out concrete steps for building new habits that last.

David, a documentary filmmaker, has made films including Writing on the Wall, Fed Up, The Biggest Little Farm, The Social Dilemma, and the Academy Award-winning An Inconvenient Truth. Reisman shares her experience of revealing difficult facts and helping audiences see how they can contribute to change. Their central message is that a cleaner, healthier world is within reach, and that the first step is to imagine it.
