Description
#1 HEY MR. GREEN
When is the right time to replace an old refrigerator? Is it okay to knit a sweater with acrylic yarn? Is it more environmentally correct to buy beer in bottles or cans? For the last several years, Bob Schildgen’s popular “Hey Mr. Green” column has tackled real-world questions from real people. Readers trust his answers, which are backed by Sierra Club’s research, but they also enjoy his realism and irreverent humor. This book distills the best of the column into one enormously useful and entertaining resource. It’s organized by subject — household issues, food and drink, transportation, reuse and recycling, and “big picture” environmental questions — making it easy to find answers to common questions. Whether puzzling over the intricacies of product life cycles or taking a reader to task for blasting his air conditioner, Hey Mr. Green is an indispensable, opinionated, and authoritative guide to minding one’s environmental footprint.
#2 STOP GLOBAL WARMING THE SOLUTION IS YOU
In accessible and inspiring prose, leading environmental activist Laurie David explains why global warming is the most urgent issue facing our planet and how it affects all of our lives today. Stop Global Warming turns headlines into action, providing testimony of David s own grassroots efforts to sound the alarm for the American people and showing how and why everyone, particularly young people, must get involved. Foreword by Larry David; afterword by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
#3 BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD
In Be the Change You Want to See in the World, Julie Fisher-McGarry speaks to the burgeoning eco-conscious-consumer market on how to dwell well on a daily basis. Organized by month, she includes tips on living green, where to purchase organic and fair-trade products, how to unplug from the grid, supporting local economies, and nourishing the earth and creating a sustainable lifestyle.
#4) 365 WAYS TO SAVE THE EARTH( has rubbed corners)
