If you’re a lover of the planet and the life on it, than you’ll love reading this book. Cheryl doesn’t just openly express her anger about how overwhelming the whole climate crisis is, and how it would almost take nothing short of a miracle to turn it around at this point, she backs up what she says with facts and sources. Her footnotes are extensive....
I really like the author’s tone. Ms. Leutjen jokes about things (she speaks snark fluently), but she is sharply aware of the gravity of global climate change, accumulated pollution, and their problematic-moving-toward-catastrophic consequences. Sharply, painfully, borderline self-consciously aware.
As a climate warrior in Appalachia, I am not unfamiliar with organizations that are trying to alert the world to the peril it is in. And yet the author gave me excellent pathways to do even more via grassroots organizations like thegoodgriefnetwork.org; plasticpollutioncoalition.org and my favorite, fearlessgrandmotherssb.org. And I made an extra donation to Greenpeace. That in itself should be an indication of the power of Cheryl Leujen’s new book "Madness on the Brink..."
Have you ever awoken in the morning and wondered what you can do for the planet today? Love Earth Now: The Power of Doing One Thing Every Day is like a self-help book for being conscious of your environmental impact and taking positive steps toward being “eco-mindful.”

I really enjoyed reading Love Earth Now, and I will be going back for the love invitations because I had to stop at one invitation that managed to quiet my mind. We need authors like Cheryl who is truthful in her experiences and uses them to help others who are on the same path of saving the environment. – Krystle Mitchell

Offering up a series of “roadmaps” and “Love Earth Invitations” at the end of each chapter, Love Earth Now encourages us to discover our own path to living more “Earth-conscientiously” and realize that we do, in fact, have the time, talents, and resources to care for our planet (as hopeless as that prospect may seem at times).

Author Cheryl Leutjen’s book is a deeply thoughtful, often neurotic, and sometimes comedic exploration of her own efforts to make an eco-contribution. Through personal observation, that she records in stunningly beautiful prose, Leutjen’s ode to our planet is one of the most distinctive ecological books to come along in a generation.

Leutjen does speak about practical matters like good reasons to start a compost pile, citing a disturbing piece of research that drives home the point to readers: Los Angeles collects on average more than six tons per day of refuse, recyclables, and yard waste. She makes you think about that number, multiplied by all the cities across the world.
…What she mostly does, though, is reframe life from a very spiritual perspective, making the reader appreciate simple things like the usefulness of pigeons, the beauty of compassion, and even the sacredness of the usually-unappreciated ant.
