What Can I Do?

Lisa Harrow’s A-Z guides are specific to each country, and have hundreds of internet sites offering information, resources, and ideas for taking action to help our environment, and ourselves.

What Can I Do? covers such diverse subjects as: why action to stop global warming is absolutely essential, suggestions to make your home and office more sustainable, what fish never to order in restaurants (and which ones to order), how to donate your obsolete computer and cell phone to charity (and get a tax write-off), how to find producers of organic meat near you, and… that new rage in family pets—composting worms!
