Hot Christmas Gifts – The Green Book
Environmental matters get the star treatment in The Green Book. The authors, Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas M. Kostigen, address the fact that Americans endanger the balance of the ecosystem by the amount of waste we produce, the amount of water we use, and the amount of energy we consume in small practical bites.
Star contributors, such as Robert Redford, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill and Dale Earnhardt Jr. share their helpful hints for being a good partner to our world. The authors discuss 12 areas, including our home, work, and school, and show ways to make better decisions in keeping them green. The book keys on how little changes can add up to huge savings on our environment by using descriptions versus analytical numbers.
The Green Book offers hope and practical suggestions, such as:
* Don't ask for ATM receipts. If everyone in the United States refused their receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!
* Voicemail service instead of answering machine. Unplugging your answering machine could save nearly 2 billion kilowatt hours annually to the United States.
The authors straightforward view was given a 4-star rating. Starting off with easy and small suggestions was a hit. Be sure, though, to check the numbers when the authors used them for analyses as some calculations were off a bit.
The authors have done a good job in providing this information in a witty, authoritative manner. They have supplied many ideas for many areas of your life and showed how the smallest choices can have the biggest effect on our world.
A hot Christmas gift idea, The Green Book is right in line with the way we as a world are going - a healthy planet!
