Local author Joanna Greenfield will sign her book, The Lion’s Eye: Seeing in the Wild, and present a seminar on simple green cleaning recipes, green pet care and green toiletries on Thursday, July 29, at 7 pm at the New Lebanon Library.
Greenfield traveled in East Africa for two years, where she studied wildlife biology at a giraffe research center in Kenya, worked with chimpanzees in the Impenetrable Forest of Uganda and backpacked around Tanzania in search of a job. The Lion’s Eye is about the time she spent with the chimpanzees, and how they taught her to live like an animal in America. The book won Honorable Mention for an autobiography at the Green Book Festival in San Francisco.
Greenfield is working on her second book about traveling around America for six years in search of a clean place to live, teaches free seminars on green living and is working on a manual that towns can use to go green. Her seminars address how living green can save hundreds of dollars a year, promote health and save the planet. She believes that the things we use in our house should be simple, easy to make and better than anything we can buy.
