By David R. Goucher

Almost everything we do results in the production of CO2, but simple steps in our daily lives at home and elsewhere can make a huge difference. Each individual can decrease his or her carbon footprint. The Earth-Friendly Home: Save Energy - Reduce Consumption - Shrink Your Carbon Footprint shows readers what a carbon footprint is and offers common-sense approaches to reducing it. This book explores one's daily routine and figures out how much energy is used and how to go about making an immediate and sustainable reduction while retraining to live a lower-carbon lifestyle.

Readers will find answers to everyday dilemmas: Should one turn off the light if he or she leaves the room for 5 minutes? 10 minutes? an hour? Which is better, the electric hand dryer or a paper towel?
Degrees of green options allow readers to gradually change their habits for good.
The scientist-author isn't all talk and no action. Goucher wants to spread the word; he's working in reforestation and sustainable development, making a real commitment to the Earth.
The beautiful book design and clear text makes content attractive and readable. Over 200 full-color photographs.
Handy tips will help readers shrink their carbon footprint right away.
