Overview

"From the environmental activist ""Newsweek"" called the ""star of climate change"" comes the ultimate guide to living green for those ready to take their eco-efforts up a notch. ""Ed Begley, Jr.'s Guide to Sustainable Living"" lays out a detailed road map culled from Ed's thirty-nine years of green living. For the first time ever, a comprehensive plan is provided, from effective conservation techniques to producing your own energy. Starting with the energy audit, Ed shows us how to create a game plan for resource conservation in the home. Then, once an adequate baseline of resource use is achieved, he leads us into more in-depth eco-matters, such as the production of alternative energy, and how to use solar and wind energy and a geothermal pump. As Ed's guide continues, the focus then turns to sustainable lifestyle management choices, such as home gardening, and guidelines on creating a green nursery for your children. This book covers it all-small to large-in plain language and in a progression from resource conservation to energy production and lifestyle management that makes both environmental and fiscal sense. There's something here for everyone-new and experienced environmentalists alike-and Ed walks you through every step of the way with helpful sidebars that outline costs and paybacks, as well as essays detailing his experiences of completing these eco-projects on his own home."
