Unique Christmas Gift Idea - The Green Book
by Matt Hellstrom
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.
Celebrities, including Robert Redford, Ellen DeGeneres,
Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
contribute suggestions for living green. Rogers and Kostigen
establish 12 aspects of our habitat, like home, work, and
school, and suggest better lifestyle choices for each. Small
adjustments are the focus of the book that add up to
significant and positive environmental effects by using
descriptive rather than numerical analyses.
A few simple suggestions in The Green Book are:
* Say No to ATM paper receipts. If we all in the U.S.A.
wrote the amount in our checkbook instead of requesting a
receipt, the paper saved would be more than 2 billion ft.
long.
* Get a voice-mail service for your home phone. If all
answering machines in U.S. homes were replaced by voice-mail
services, the annual energy savings would total nearly two
billion kilowatt hours.
This 4-star rated book earned this ranking due to the small,
simple to use ideas. The one area of concern was that some
of the numbers when used did not seem to be accurate.
However, a simple check before quoting showed the
descriptions were right on.
With wit and authority, the authors provide hundreds of
solutions for all areas of your life, pinpointing the
smallest changes that have the biggest impact on the health
of our precious planet.
A hot Christmas gift idea, The Green Book is right in line
with the way we as a world are going - a healthy planet! -
