  ELIZABETH ROGERS & THOMAS M. KOSTIGEN

 

Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake tell you how they make a difference to the environment.

Inside The Green Book, find out how you can too:

  • Don't ask for ATM receipts. If everyone in the United States refused their receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!

  • Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You'll conserve up to five gallons of water per day. Throughout the entire United States, the daily savings could add up to more water than is consumed every day in all of New York City.

  • Get a voice-mail service for your home phone. If all answering machines in U.S. homes were replaced by voice-mail services, the annual energy savings would total nearly two billion kilowatt hours. The resulting reduction in air pollution would be equivalent to removing 250,000 cars from the road for a year!

With wit and authority, authors Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen provide hundreds of solutions for all areas of your life, pinpointing the smallest changes that have the biggest impact on the health of our precious planet.

 

Reviews:

"There are two activities in my personal life that give me limitless amounts of joy. They are, quite simply, driving my electric car and making a trip to the hazardous waste facility..."

 

—Will Ferrell

 

 

"It's exciting to have a book like this where you can flip through and go see what you can do, what you can do instead of what you should have done."

 

—Cameron Diaz

 

 

"I think that's one of the important things about this book. It just doesn't say, 'Turn off your light bulbs.' Or, 'You don't need a message machine if you can use voicemail.' It's not going to be go without, go without, or cutback, cutback, whatever..."

 

—William McDonough, Time Magazine Hero for the Planet
