50 Simple Steps to Save the Earth from Global Warming
Compiled: Green Patriot Working Group

Do you drive to the store, or have your groceries delivered? If your answer is the latter, you have reason to cheer, for implementing one of the eco-friendly measures outlined in 50 Simple Steps to Save the Earth from Global Warming compiled by the Green Patriot Working Group ( www.jaicobooks.com).

Look for fair trade, as a way to support ‘fair labour conditions. Buy locally grown foods, advises one chapter. Use petrochemical-free household products, the authors urge. Your choice of balloons – latex or mylar – can affect global warming. “Balloons made from latex are 100 per cent biodegradable and break down as quickly as an oak leaf in similar conditions.”

Even though global warming is generally seen as a ‘grown up’ topic, the authors say , kindergarteners too can understand the concept. Imperative read.
