True green

Plot

You can save the world! Global warming, greenhouse gases, climate change Often the magnitude of the environmental challenges we face can leave us feeling powerless - but we're not. In True Green, Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin - who helped create Clean Up Australia - suggest 100 small ways in which you can make a big difference, at home, in the garden, at work or in your community. For example: Put on a jumper instead of the heater - and lower carbon emissions. Switch off electrical appliances at the power point - and lower your energy consumption (and bills!) Say no to plastic bags - and lower waste. Use recycled paper - and conserve forests. Reuse takeaway containers - and lower pollution. Practical, positive and easy to use, this essential reference shows how making simple changes in your everyday life can contribute to a healthier planet. Don't just be true blue - be true green. 'I think this book is a great way to make recycling easier. It's to the point and practical with nothing airy fairy. Three cheers from me.' - Shannon Lush, bestselling author of Spotless
