Getting To Green

Getting Green Done

"Going green is easy and profitable." That's the common refrain from sustainability gurus. In reality, though, many green-leaning businesses, families, and governments are fiddling with the small stuff while the planet burns. Why? Because implementing sustainability is brutally difficult. If we're going to cut CO2 emissions 80 percent by midcentury, it will take more than a recycling program and some hemp shopping bags. We'll only solve our problems if we're realistic about the challenge of climate change. In this witty book, a sustainable business foot soldier with over a decade's worth of experience illuminates the path.

Getting Green Now

I wrote this book with the intention of helping those who are unaware of how the things they may do in their daily lives impact the health of people and our planet, to make better choices. You will receive quick tips on what you can do to "green" your lifestyle, and why it is a good idea to do things a little different. Some chapters have a tip that is similar to one in a different section. I did this in case you skipped another chapter, but the tip is also relevant in that section. Start slowly, maybe picking 5 or 10 tips, and make the change. After you become comfortable with the changes, change a few more things. Before you know it, you will be GREEN! Then, start to spread the word!
