Grateful for the opportunity to write the Foreword for this important book - A Guide to a Healthier Planet - by my close collaborator and friend Erlijn van Genuchten from The Netherlands. She's doing extraordinary work on how sustainable living contributes to happiness, health, and wealth. This book achieves something special by breaking down complex climate information from hundreds of scientific journals into understandable language with actionable steps for everyone. It bridges the gap between scientific jargon and public comprehension, empowering us with one of our most potent tools—plain language.
