If you long to feel more deeply connected to nature…
If you're tired of watching your hard-earned money flow to billion-dollar corporations that harm people and the planet in the name of profit…
And if you're searching for a meaningful response to that quiet, persistent sense of dread as the climate crisis reaches a fever pitch, there’s good news.
This book was written for you.
Inspired by the modern homesteading movement, Backyard Climate Activist: Healing the Planet from Home is more than a climate book. Through the 7 Rs of the Backyard Climate Activist framework—rewild, reconnect, refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot—Devon offers a hopeful, holistic path forward. By harnessing the power of everyday choices, you can help reshape the systems harming people and the planet, whether your backyard is a small urban balcony or sprawling rural acreage.
This book isn't meant to simply be read.
It's meant to ignite a grassroots movement by inspiring ordinary people to reclaim their power to heal the planet.
It's a quiet revolution, and it starts at home.
“I saw so much of myself in how Devon tumbled into modern homesteading: first the sourdough, then the garden, then the chickens (I'm up to 20-ish of my own!). What I love most is how she channels that journey into the Backyard Climate Activist framework. Through the Seven R's, Devon gives readers a clear, doable path to real action, and reminds us that millions of people doing what they can, imperfectly, will always beat a few doing everything perfectly. A warm, encouraging, and hopeful read!.”
