Book excerpt: The constant influx of scary news about all the ways we're damaging the environment can trigger two reactions: One is despair; the other is LET'S DO SOMETHING! The Armchair Environmentalist takes a can do approach-showing that in only a few minutes a day each of us can make a real difference. While recycling is one place to start-we throw away enough aluminum to rebuild a commercial aircraft fleet every three months- Karen Christensen shows our everyday choices contribution to major problems like global warming, drought, and air pollution. The focus is always on what you and I can do - in our homes, offices, and communities - to make the world a better place.
