Go Gently is a practical guide for sustainability at home that offers simple, tangible steps towards reducing our environmental impact by looking at what we consume and the waste we create, as well as how to take action for environmental change. The title reflects Bonnie's belief that the best way to change our planet and ourselves is through a gentle approach, rather than a judgmental one. This is a book of do's rather than don'ts.

Going through every room in her home, Bonnie helps us assess which products are sustainable, and offers alternatives for those that are not. She shares recipes to avoid food waste, homemade self-care products to avoid packaging, small space friendly gardening ideas and a template for creating your own compost system. Finally, there are exercises and meditation prompts to keep you energised, as well as tips on how to get involved in wider community activism.

Since starring in the Harry Potter films Bonnie has been a committed eco-activist and through her involvement with NGOs, and her role as a Greenpeace ambassador, has witness firsthand the devastation wreaked by single use plastics the world over, and the impact of palm oil industry in the Brazilian rainforest. In spite of this Bonnie is optimistic about the potential for us as individual consumers to bring about the change required to halt our deadly impact on the planet.
