This book was a fantastic read. All kinds of simple things that can be done around the house to be a little more green, and to save a little spare cash. Recommended!

You Can Prevent Global Warming is a tried-and-true formula, presenting 51 short write-ups on ways individuals can reduce their carbon footprints. Home electricity and hot water, home heating and cooling, lawn and garden, transportation, shopping habits, recycling and investing are covered. Each section includes background (what you should know), suggested actions (easy ways you can help) and references (search for more information). An especially nice feature is the inclusion of a More Savings, Less Carbon Dioxide estimate for each action. For example, switching from buying two bottles of spring water to using a filtered water bottle filled from the tap can save $127 and 580 pounds of carbon dioxide annually (factoring in the cost of buying the filter water bottle). Another thoughtful touch is the appendix listing actions applicable to renters as well as homeowners.

This book is recommended for those just getting started in the move to a more sustainable lifestyle as well as those looking for a wealth of numbers on the carbon emitted by various small actions.

A useful, practical guide to things you can do on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, as a renter and apartment dweller, who lives in Manhattan and therefore doesn't keep a car, a lot of these tips didn't really apply for me. And they're mostly common sense. But still, a great reference to have!
