The Armchair Environmentalist by Karen Christensen is a nice little book I picked up a few months ago.

It describes itself as a…

3-minute-a-day action plan to save the world

..and, I guess it is. The focus is on reducing our use of water & energy and creating a healthier environment at work and home. I really enjoyed the format of the book and the simple, easy-to-do tips. This the 3-minute-a-day concept. The book shows that a little change can make a big difference.

Most topics are covered albeit briefly. A good discussion of composting toilets is conspicuously absent.

Pick up a copy, printed on 100% recycled paper (of course!), for yourself or a friend. Might make a good holiday gift to get family and friends into eco-nice habits.
