How to Build an Earth-Friendly Community

Author Nancy H. Taylor’s new book “Go Green: Building an Earth-Friendly Community,” is the updated “100 Ways to Save the Planet.”  Taking things one step beyond recycling and riding your bike, Nancy looks provides many user-friendly suggestions for reducing our carbon food-print, replacing our appetite for fossil fuels and supporting our local community.  Some of her suggestions include: buying local, organic and sustainable food, starting community programs in support of light rail systems, green hospitals and schools and smart city planning, and protecting fragile ecosystems. You can here an interview with Nancy and read 10 practical green living tips at thinkgreenmedia.

I like this book because it addresses global warming, provides practical suggestions and focuses on community.  Having not yet read it (just some excerpts on the web), I hope that she includes some information on how protecting wild-nature is a crucial part in our approach to the climate issue.   While making green-friendly choices in your day-to-day living is extremely important – if we ignore protecting wild-nature, we’re ignoring at least 20% of the problem!
