From the environmental activist Newsweek called the “star of
climate change” comes the ultimate guide to living green for those
ready to take their eco-efforts up a notch.
Ed Begley, Jr.’s Guide to Sustainable Living lays out a detailed
road map culled from Ed’s thirty-nine years of green living. For
the first time ever, a comprehensive plan is provided, from
effective conservation techniques to producing your own
energy.
Starting with the energy audit, Ed shows us how to create a game
plan for resource conservation in the home. Then, once an adequate
baseline of resource use is achieved, he leads us into more
in-depth eco-matters, such as the production of alternative energy,
and how to use solar and wind energy and a geothermal pump. As Ed’s
guide continues, the focus then turns to sustainable lifestyle
management choices, such as home gardening, and guidelines on
creating a green nursery for your children. This book covers it
all–small to large–in plain language and in a progression from
resource conservation to energy production and lifestyle management
that makes both environmental and fiscal sense.
There’s something here for everyone–new and experienced
environmentalists alike–and Ed walks you through every step of the
way with helpful sidebars that outline costs and paybacks, as well
as essays detailing his experiences of completing these
eco-projects on his own home.
