"Individuals can't save the world alone. But if millions of us work together to save our own patch of earth—then we really have a shot. How do we do it? With Acts of Restorative Kindness (ARK). An ARK is a restored, native ecosystem. It’s a thriving patch of native plants and creatures that have been allowed and supported to re-establish in the earth's intelligent, successional process of natural restoration. Over time, this becomes a pantry and a habitat for our pollinators and wild creatures who are in desperate need of support. The Acts of Restorative Kindness actions are within our control and laid our here in the book. In thesee inspiring pages, discover how one person's actions can effect big change in this world. Even the tiniest postage stamp patch of land matters!"--From publisher.
