The Gospel According to the Earth

How to Live the Green Gospel

As an emergency room doctor, Matthew Sleeth was in the business of saving lives. But when he learned about the global effects of climate change, Sleeth realized that he couldn't save the world without first saving the Earth. His family got radical, moving into a smaller home, selling most of their goods, and cutting their energy use dramatically.

Today, Sleeth spends his days traveling and spreading the good news of green living. His book The Gospel According to the Earth explains how to embrace that good news for yourself.

In this gallery, he has shared 20 ways you can do just that--today. If you apply each of these steps, you'll be on the way to living the gospel. Then, browse through Sleeth's book and begin to dig deeper into the green gospel for yourself.
