This book might not be the singular answer to solving the global climate crisis, but it's a fantastic, fun little book with a variety of ideas no matter your commitment or ability.

It's the perfect size for stockings (which is my plan!), but unfortunately also the right size for getting, appreciating, and then losing or forgetting.

Could be fun with kids, and getting them involved in picking something each day or week to focus upon to help save the earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for people looking to make better choices, March 18, 2010

1001 Ways to Save the Earth takes the "suggestive" route to reducing your footprint. My kids like the book too and question my consumption decisions more than the book does.

If you are looking for a book that encourages you to make better choices rather than tells you how to live, 1001 Ways is for you. (Just a suggestion)

Even though I don't own a home, this book still had good tips on how to be more environmentally friendly. Some things I never knew about, or ever thought about. I'll definitely keep this book around.
