Tell us in the comments below 👇 What does it mean to love America?

When decided to bike across the United States, she wanted to discover the answers to her questions:
Why do people live in small towns and what do they like about it? How do I satisfy my desire to travel without harming the planet? What does it mean to love America?

What started as a research trip turned into an intimately physical and psychological encounter with self and nationhood. Heidi Across America offers a journey to self-love, empathy, consideration for others, and respect for the spirit of place as pathways to find connection and home.

A hilariously moving and inspirational memoir of a girl with two gay dads, navigating her way through life with joy, love, gratitude, and an excellent sense of humor.

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we are highlighting “Inexplicably Me: A Story of Labels, Worthiness, and Refusing to Be Boxed In” by Chelsea A. Montgomery-Duban Wächter

As the daughter of two gay fathers in the 90s, Chelsea has always had a different outlook than some people. And yet, her message is one of universal importance – love is the most important force in the world. Through her moving and at times hilarious memoir, Chelsea reflects on how we are all much more similar than we are different.

So many of our purchasing choices have unintended consequences. Choose a subject that is close to your heart and make one swap a week. Maybe you look for a shampoo that doesn't have harmful toxins in it. Maybe you switch to shopping at a woman-owned local shop instead of a franchise. Maybe you avoid certain foods that have palm oil because you know that if harvested unsustainably, palm production can be very harmful to tropical forests.

What is one small switch you can make this week? Let us know in the comments!

HCI author Diane Osgood was recently featured on the She Boss Cafe Podcast where she talks about easy and practical sustainable switches you can make today. Listen to her interview with Susan Trumpler below or on your favorite podcast player.

New research shows price isn't everything when it comes to consumers' desire for sustainable products. The sharp focus on shoppers' willingness to pay more for sustainable options is obscuring pent-up demand.

HCI author Diane Osgood was recently featured in TriplePundit discussing consumers and sustainability.
