Most people want to do whatever they can to make the
world a better place and protect the Earth. For them,
marching in demonstrations or engaging in direct
action is not an option. What to do? In subjects
ranging from Air to Water to Food to Global Warming,
this book lists many web sites with more information
to get the reader involved in protecting the
environment.

Perhaps the reader just wants to find out what sort of
recycling facilities are in their town. One of their
first stops should be to www.earth911.org. To look for
reusable or biodegradable diapers, visit
www.organicbebe.com. The Wildlife Conservation Society
(www.wcs.org) has a very distinguished record in
conserving endangered species. For those who have
compost heaps, Starbucks will give you their coffee
grounds. Details are at
www.starbucks.com/aboutus/compost, or talk to your
local manager.

A handy wallet card on produce and pesticides called
"The Shopper's Guide to Pesticides" (bring it with you
when shopping) is available from www.foodnews.org. A
good site on global warming is www.climatestar.org.
The Busy Person's Guide to Greener Living can be found
at www.greenmatters.com. Do you have stuff you no
longer need that someone else may want? Before that
trip to the landfill, visit www.freecycle.org. Adopt a
lobster (and help ensure a continued supply of
lobsters) at www.lobsters.org, the Lobster
Conservancy.

This is a wonderful book. It's small (it really can
fit in your back pocket), it's well laid out, and the
reader can pick their level of involvement. It is very
highly recommended. Saving the environment does not
get much easier than this.
