We could go on; there are lots of useful tips in 365 Ways to Save the Earth, and each one is paired with a stunning photograph by Philippe Bourseiller. Broken down into categories like home, shopping, leisure, transportation, office, gardening and children, the book is the daily calendar of sustainable reminders, but much prettier to look at (and you don't have to toss a piece of paper every day). With such good aesthetics, the book strives for a place on your coffee table, where it can be easily admired for its artistic merits, practical, easy (and even fun) ideas. As you've not doubt done with other "dated" books, everyone who picks it up has to check out their birthday, major holidays (Christmas advises you to make your own greeting cards) and the like. You won't be able to do all 365, at least not in a row, but if everyone who picks up the book tries a few, we'll all be better off for it, and that's one of the things books are great for. A percentage of book sales will go to the Stop Global Warming Virtual March, which can be added as the 366th way to save the earth. Available from Harry Abrams Books, Powell's Books and other fine booksellers.
