I wrote a book!Learn More
For the last three years I’ve been anchored in the South Pacific, writing a book about my voyage. From daunting weather to relationships sweet and sour, wild waves and boat repairs, this very personal memoir shares my many challenges, my search for harmony with nature, and how I come to understand the unity of all things. The team at Patagonia Books, along with illustrator Daniella Manini, bring my story to life with amazing art and four photo galleries! It’s a work of enormous love, with the intention to inspire others to follow their hearts, protect our planet, and live out their dreams. Book is available now in hard copy at most your favorite book stores, as an e-book here or you click on the link to the right to order online with delivery to your address! With love and gratitude, Capt Liz Clark After 3 years of writing, I’m excited to share the personal STORY of my voyage with the world. Book available now!

Eating plant foods is good for your body + planet + people + climate + animals. A lot of good reasons to expand your plant-based palate! Our 2nd annual Plant Based March Challenge starts today. It’s about gaining a deeper awareness of the connection between our food choices, the environment, social justice, and your health. This is for everyone, make it yours. Go full plant-based for a month, make a few small changes to your habits, or even just read the emails to learn more. Sign up at the link in my bio to receive 3 weekly emails packed with info, tips, recipes, and inspiration. Please swipe left if you’re worried about sacrificing flavor... 🤤

** In 1 month of eating plant-based, 1 person can save approximately 46,000 gallons of water, 13,395 pounds of grain, 930 square feet of rainforest, 620 pounds of CO2. (Eat For the Planet, Nil Zacharias & Gene Stone, 2018).⁠

I received several wonderful messages from inspired Swell readers this week. Thank you, each one thrills me.💙
 
I’ve been savoring every word of Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer lately. Robin examines the current state of the world through a blend of her scientific knowledge as a botanist, and her indigenous wisdom as a member of the Potawatomi Nation, mostly via lessons from the plant world. I’m reading most chapters twice before proceeding, because they’re so rich and her words are so what the world needs right now! For example, in the beginning of the book she explains that in Potawatomi language trees, plants, animals, mountains, fire, rocks, bodies of water, and so on are referred to not as objects, but as individuals each with a spirit and personage. If “grammar is the way we chart relationships in nature” it’s easy to see why this simple difference in pronouns makes it easier for English speakers to commodify and mistreat nature and animals. I leave you to consider this quote from her book… “When ‘bay’ is a noun, it is defined by humans, trapped between its shores and contained by the word. But the verb ‘wiikwegamaa’—to be a bay—releases the water from bondage and lets it live free. ‘To be a bay’ holds the wonder that for this moment, the living water has decided to shelter itself between these shores, conversing with the cedar roots and a flock of baby mergansers. … To be a hill, to be a sandy beach, to be a Saturday, are all possible verbs in a world where everything is alive. … This is the grammar of animacy. ... In English, we would never refer to a member of our family, or indeed any person, as ‘it’. ... ‘It’ robs a person of selfhood and kinship, reducing a person to a mere thing. So it is that in Potawatomi and most other indigenous languages, we use the same words to address the living world as we use for our family. Because they are our family.” 💙

Even soaking wet under the rain, fishing old stinky trash out of a swamp this crew just keeps laughing! ... Geez it was gratifying to remove 19 sacs of trash and a heap of rusted junk from this glorious place this weekend. Thank you my @atmislandprotectors family. 💚 #bettertogether #community #atmislandprotectors #yeahbeach #packyourtrash #bestcrew

The Plant-Based March Challenge is back. We at @changingtidesfoundation are ready to take you on another⠀
plant-based dietary adventure with more recipes, tips, tricks, and motivating information to help you thrive without animal products for one month (and maybe more if you love it...I’m almost at a decade!) Industrial animal agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, and also has disproportionally adverse effects on BIPOC — from indigenous peoples of the Amazon, to meatpacking workers being ordered to work despite dangers of COVID, to people who live in the towns where factory farms are located. Add in health benefits & animal welfare and there are a lot of reasons to give this a try! We will be talking about food justice and accessibility too this year. Start where you are, no judgement, try even a few small changes, keep the sustainable animal products you source. It’s just to challenge ourselves to do a little better for the Planet + People + Animals + Health... Signup at the link in my bio. 💚
