What Can I Do?: An Alphabet For Living

Rating:
Summary: Useful, Delightful, Hopeful
Review: As is the list of environmental problems so overwhelming and the scale so global, so is the feeling that one person can't make a difference. And, even in the trying, the choices are so many and the information so contradictory, that it's hard to know where to start. Here, at last, is the logical successor to "50 Simple Things...," better, more evolved, and yet easier. A wealth of choices that can be tailored to match what you feel you CAN do now, what you MIGHT feel you can do later, and what you SHOULD be telling your friends-- in short, a compendium of answers on a scale that any of us can comprehend.

Summary: OK world no more excuses
Review: I have spent over 20 years in the environmental arena and the one question that I am asked more than any other is - What can I do? Humanities apathy towards the environment has always astounded me - people say they want a healthy environment, but rarely seem to act upon that desire. I think Lisa Harrow is onto something here, perhaps our apathy stem's from the fact that for most of us environmental problems seem so overwhelming that we just don't know where to start or what to do.
OK world no more excuses,
Step 1 buy this book - Step 2 a healthier lifestyle and planet.

Summary: What a Find!
Review: This book reminds me of The Whole Earth Catalogue, except it's more immediately practical. And it's not at all preachy. It's full of simple, concise advice about what I can do to help conserve energy, recycle responsibly, and live on the Earth with the smallest footprint. I am so happy with this book and its reasonable price that I am going to give it as a Christmas present to all my friends.
