In Mothering Earth, Julia Rockwell has shared with us the gift of her perspective as a mother, caregiver, and eco-actionist. This book is a powerful and practical guide for how we can individually make small shifts and daily choices to collectively create a more just, equitable world – and a more climate resilient future – for our children and for generations to come.

Author of The Climate Optimist Handbook
In Mothering Earth, Julia beautifully puts words to the transformation that takes place on a sustainability journey and what it feels like when you’re no longer stuck in the game of ‘doing things perfectly’, but let yourself sink into a new life rhythm. One with more meaning, joy, and peace of mind - for yourself and your family! She will guide you through very concrete and actionable steps that will take you out of your old mindsets (without shame) and into new ones that are better for you and for the planet. Conscious parenting is not an easy task, but Julia will show you how it’s not only possible - it's the foundation for a whole new kind of life. And one that you don’t want to miss out on.

We all want to make the right decisions in our household and as consumers to reduce our footprint as well as to encourage companies to act ethically and set an example for our children. Julia has done incredibly thorough research coupled with her dedicated experience and testing in order to offer a wide host of solutions for every aspect of domestic life. This book will be an incredibly valuable resource for parents and non-parents alike as we all seek to lighten our load on Mother Earth!

We all know we should lower our carbon footprint and create less waste, but the shift always feels daunting and un-fun, best left for another day when we finally have time to do the research and buy all those specialty products. A busy mom of two, Julia knows what works for modern families and shares accessible and affordable swaps and strategies to reduce waste without sacrificing style, time, convenience, or fun. Positive impact on the planet AND your family? Yes, please!

Mothering Earth is the ‘where to start’ sustainability manual every parent needs. Julia shows us that eco-activism isn’t about adding more to an endless to-do list, but living more simply and enjoying life more. With deeply-researched, actionable advice and strategies, this book is a must-read, illuminating the easy shifts we can make to create healthier households, set examples that inspire our children, and give rise to healthier futures for our families, communities, and planet.

As an ecologist, the immensity of global change is on my mind every day. Julia’s tips and ideas for living more gently on our earth while living our busy lives are a breath of fresh air. It’s wonderful to have reminders and new ideas on how we can take action and help our children put the planet first in their choices as they learn and grow.

Julia’s book connects the dots between climate change and the prevailing notion that one must consume their way to being a good parent. She reframes the sustainability conversation in a way that provides families space to move forward into a lifestyle change that’s enriching and regenerative for weary parents and a weary planet. I’m glad for this accessible and practical guide to Mothering Earth.
