Join Colleen Powers on this transformative journey of inquiry and inspiration. Let “Questions to Humanity” challenge  you to deepen your understanding, spark conversations, and catalyze action toward a more sustainable and compassionate world. Together, we can find the solutions our planet so desperately needs.

Colleen Powers is a passionate advocate for environmental sustainability and social consciousness, and her journey has been inspired by nature, community, and the quest for deeper understanding. Her debut book, ”Questions to Humanity: Inspiring Solutions through Inquiry”, is not just a reflection of her life's observations; it is a heartfelt invitation for readers to engage with the pressing issues facing our world today.

From a young age, Colleen possessed a profound awareness of the natural world and a deep-seated sensitivity to its cries for help. This intrinsic connection to nature's intelligence has guided her throughout her life, illuminating her path as a dedicated advocate for the planet. Her commitment to recycling and responsible production management emerged early in her journey, but it quickly expanded to encompass a holistic view of population and pollution management—addressing the critical challenges we face regarding water, air, and land.

Starting in the early 1990s in Vail, Colorado, Colleen spearheaded recycling initiatives throughout the resort, demonstrating the power of community involvement in environmental stewardship. Her endeavors continued in the late 90s in Maui, where she participated in the transformative *Art of Trash* project, creating pieces from discarded materials that sparked conversations about waste and creativity.

But Colleen's impact goes far beyond art. She co-founded a local nonprofit called Sustainable Ways with her husband and like-minded friends, championing sustainability through initiatives like farmers' markets, community gardens, and solar home tours. These efforts reflect her unwavering belief that sustainable living is not just a choice but a necessity for the future of our planet.

The seeds of activism were also deeply personal. Colleen and her brother crafted a peace campaign in their youth—a testament to their shared vision for a better world. Following his untimely passing, Colleen channeled her grief and inspiration into her writing, culminating in *Questions to Humanity*. This book is not merely a narrative of her experiences; it is a mirror reflecting the reader's own insights and inquiries into the societal and environmental challenges we face.

Colleen believes that the author's backstory is secondary to the message at hand. “Questions to Humanity” is designed for you to engage with it as if you wrote it yourself, prompting you to ask the questions  that can lead to meaningful solutions. It challenges you to reflect on your role in addressing the pressing needs of our society and planet.
