This book is an excellent primer for those who want to start learning about actionable steps that they can do as individuals, communities and families to help address the global warming environmental problem. It is written in easy-to-understand everyday vernacular with lots of humor and simple illustrations thrown in . It is not meant for the academic scientist, but rather for the ordinary citizen with a style that is especially appealing to the under 30 generation. I read this book from cover to cover, and I anticipate that I will be referring to it many times over the next several years. Get this book and start learning how to walk the walk and talk the talk ! Note- this reviewer is proudly and positively prejudiced as his son was one of the contributing authors of the book.
Global Warming Handbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This handbook has some earth-friendly advice on how to reduce CO2 emissions. Here are some examples: - drive lighter cars - pay bills online and avoid the paper - purchase an energy star fridge - styrofoam cups are difficult to break down ecologically - work at home - recycle - upgrade the computer rather than buying new - get a rainbarrel to trap water - purchase locally produced fresh food rather than canned or frozen - increase use of solar power - research nside.org for ice flow Overall, the acquisition is worth purchasing because of the unique value of the information accumulated by the author. The suggestions are practical and they make sense scientifically.

LOVE THIS BOOK! I'm using it at home and it's stimulated some great dinner conversations with the family. We've changed out our lightbulbs, installed a programmable thermostat, turned off the AC whenever the temperature is below 80 degrees and begun using cloth shopping bags for groceries. These are easy and the kids love to remind me to do it. We're putting in a rain barrel this weekend and started a compost pile. It was fun and easy. Great family book.
Is it getting hot in here?

Fast and informative read, chock full of good information and new ways to think about how to be green. Some fun, cute "survival" tip at end for what to do if we don't stop global warming (buy a camel, etc.). Everyone should have a copy.
