In the first years of the twenty-first century, we have spent billions of dollars fighting the war on terror but not even one half of one percent of this amount to tackle an issue that could devastate our planet and is already taking its toll on our personal health and natural resources.

In Safe Trip to Eden, award-winning environmental journalist David Steinman makes sense of the tangle of issues surrounding climate change.

He provides clear, simple steps we can all take to make more responsible environmental choices in our everyday lives, from the food we put on our tables, to the products we use in our homes, and the cars we buy. He shows, for example, how changing even a simple habit of driving to the grocery store to ordering food online can save almost 900 miles a year, reducing both traffic congestion and petroleum emissions.

Steinman also provides a list of "green" online resources, where you can buy everything from groceries to home-building supplies, as well as an analysis of 100 Green Companies that are committed to being environmentally responsible.

Engaging and conversational, Safe Trip to Eden is a must-read for anyone concerned with the environment and our future. - From the Publisher
