On a crisp autumn morning in early November 2023, Amanda stood before a packed auditorium at the Denver Convention Center. The event was the annual Sustainability Summit, a gathering that brings together thought leaders from across the globe to discuss innovative solutions for a greener future. It was here that Amanda unveiled her latest book, "Harmony: Nature’s Call to Reconnect with Our Planet," which delves into the profound connection humans share with the natural world and the urgent need for social and environmental harmony.

In her keynote speech, Amanda emphasized the importance of building sustainable cities that not only support economic growth but also preserve the environment for future generations. Her insights were met with enthusiasm by attendees who were eager to learn more about practical steps they could take in their own communities. Following the summit, Amanda continued her work, traveling to various cities around the United States to promote dialogue and action on sustainability.
