Imagine a world with no driveaways. Instead, each home would be flanked on each side by rainwater friendly gardens, vegetable patches, edible-flowers and the only thing that is missing is hard, cold wasteful pavement. Well that's the vision that Franke James had when she went about transforming her personal driveway into a garden. But she found out that the city wasn't so thrilled with the whole idea.

In this visually beautiful story of a book, Bothered By My Green Conscience, Franke walks us through her journey to bringing her vision to fruition. As I read this book, I laughed, was bothered, got motivated and was entertained by one womans journey to green.

Who Is Franke

Franke James merges science, art and storytelling to inspire people to take action and "do the hardest thing first" for the planet. Franke uses her skills as an artist, photographer and writer to create visual essays on environmental and social issues. She is the author of two award-winning books, Bothered By My Green Conscience and Dear Office-Politics, the game everyone plays.

    what worries me about the future is what Obama is doing right now to mess it all up! That the future already looks bleak...

    What worries me most about the future of our planet is most peoples total apathy about what's going on and their unwillingness to change.

    I have done all of the mandatory entry requirements! What worries me the most is that we are consuming so many harmful chemicals and that there are some who say this generation of children will not outlive their parents. That is awful! I want to do all I can to change that!! @smilinggreenmom on twitter, FB - Lynn Momblogger and email is smilinggreenmom(at)gmail(dot)com
