“An elegant and fiercely compelling rendering of one man’s commitment to understanding and addressing perhaps the most serious issue of our times, sustainability and climate change. I closed this book with a much better sense of the environment we find ourselves in today and a better sense of hope in terms of what I can and cannot do to make a difference. This is Our Home is one of the most important books I have read in a long time.”
Lisa D. Foster, author Bag Lady & leadership coach
“If you have been wondering what sustainability means to you, read this book! You’ll see how one person stopped looking the other way, stopped ignoring the signs, and started making changes that made him feel he was on the right path. Who knows? You just might be inspired to do the same.”

“A very easy read….Romer weaves a tale that is both intriguing and inspiring, adroitly weaving thorough research throughout… His heartfelt personal odyssey conjures up an image of a curious Tom Sawyer having an epiphany when he meets Rachel Carson on his local Nassau Lake. Wonderment leads to questions and ultimately self-discovery and a broader perspective of our responsibilities, showing how self-interest can result in protecting our common home.”
