The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to
Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time
by Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas M. Kostigen
Organized into easy to read chapters with commentary from several celebrities, this book gives background as well as lists of little things that you can do to help. Some of these things truly are little, like not taking an receipt at the ATM or at the gas station when you fill up your tank. But that's what I like about this book - it gets you thinking about how a lot of little things can add up to make a difference. Also many of these little things are things that you can do right now.
