How can each of us live Cooler, Smarter?

Each chapter addresses a key approach to cutting carbon, including choices about transportation, home energy use, diet, personal consumption, and influencing your workplace or getting involved politically. The advice in Cooler, Smarter has added personal benefits, from saving money to becoming healthier. But its central purpose is to empower you, through low carbon-living, to confront one of society’s greatest threats.
