In the 60s, Silent Spring forced us to pay attention to the problem with pesticides. The 70s galvanised the nation to conserve. In the 90s our communities came together to 'reduce, reuse, and recycle'. And now, the first decade of the new millennium will focus our attention on our most urgent environmental challenge yet: global warming and the potential for irreversible climate change. This is the first and only book to put simple, effective solutions to global warming in the hands of ordinary citizens, communities, businesses, power utilities, state governments, and national leaders. In a clear and understandable style, the book explains why we and the planet have reached this over-heated situation and how scientists predict 'runaway' climate change will affect the Earth and our lives. The solutions to global warming revolve around 12 core methods of reducing our use of fossil fuels and filling our energy needs with solar, wind, tidal, and bio fuels. Each user-friendly solution is organised on two facing pages with a description, illustrations, quotations, resources, and a detailed 'how-to' section. Solutions are grouped by social sector -- individuals; citizen groups; towns and cities; state government; power utilities; businesses; oil, coal and gas corporations; automobile corporations; national governments; and developing nations -- breaking up these vital planet-saving tasks into manageable activities for both individuals and larger organisations. From riding your bike to the office to developing sustainable transportation infrastructures, and from launching a tree-planting initiative in your community to negotiating a global forests protection treaty, this critical book will help anyone and everyone -- on a small or grand scale -- to participate in cooling our planet's troubled atmosphere.
