How many trees died to produce this shallow, disappointing book by the youngest president of the Sierra Club? Somehow, one had expected something more insightful and inspiring from the dynamic 24-year-old Werbach, who revitalized an aging, moribund environmental organization by attracting younger members and media attention. Instead, he has compiled a disorganized mishmash of badly written (and edited) MTV soundbites and Generation X platitudes on the importance of protecting the environment and the evils of Newt Gingrich. While Werbach tries to inspire readers to get involved by citing the actions of individuals who have made a difference, he also uses as examples such "celebrities" as Steven Seagal and Woody Harrelson. One hopes that the bright and talented Werbach eventually acquires the maturity and wisdom of Sierra Club founder John Muir. This book might appeal to high school and college students, but older readers will pass.
