The Climate Diet

A quick read that I unexpectedly read in one sitting. If you're even remotely aware about the climate movement, nothing in here will be new, but it does read like an inoffensive way to dip your toe into thinking about making lifestyle choices. This isn't a maximalist, "go 100% vegan immediately and sell your car for a bike" approach that would turn away 90% of Americans, but more a series of gentle suggestions that won't be terribly inconvenient but would be ultimately beneficial if everyone followed. Consider this more of a stocking stuffer pamphlet for the green-curious and less of a shout-it-from-the-rooftops manifesto for green living.

Worth reading, with notebook nearby to jot down ideas. No matter who we are, how eco-conscious, there's always a bit more we can do for our next step; something we haven't thought about. This is a nice little booklet to skim, then pass along to a caring friend.

Yes, it seems wasteful to issue this in printed form — but I think it's less overwhelming this way, as something to flip through instead of a large wall of online text. It's a calculated gamble.
