Do the Hardest Thing First

Bothered By My Green Conscience takes "going green" from buzz words to thoughtful action. Instead of just talking about doing something, Franke James actually thoughtfully considered how the way she lived her life affected the Earth and took action to make changes to her lifestyle. Not only does Franke share her own true story - the challenges, the struggles and the successes - but she does it in an entertaining way. Her creative illustrations bring her words to life. I've been inspired by Franke's book - not just to live a greener lifestyle - but to "do the hardest thing first" in everyday life. Remembering that one line helps me just get started even though a project seems too challenging and I don't know where to start. If I just start, then the hardest part is behind me and it gets easier from there. I hope that Bothered By My Green Conscience will offer a new perspective on environmentalism - a more humanized one - that will inspire us to do what we can to take care of the Earth and to reach higher to achieve more in life. Thank you, Franke James, for sharing your story and your creativity with us through this book!

Truly An Edutainment!

Franke James' book Bothered By My Green Conscience is truly an edutaining read. It is educational AND entertaining to read. James writes about her journey on being green with some of the things she's done in a whimsical fashion. It is a quick read.

A Delight in Every Way!

Franke James is a creative thinker in every sense of the word. She has a practical side (contributing to a business blog) but it's not nearly as fun or as interesting as her whimsical side. This book combines her musings about our impact on our planet with her "down the rabbit hole" illustrations. The result is a book that you can read and continue to enjoy. It's one you will want to own and share with friends.
