Before I start to discuss details, I just want to say that it is a wonderful book.
Book that every teenager should read so that their behaviour is modified for good and we may collectively stem the damage being done to our planet.
Almost all we know we need to act to save planet and ourselves; but few know how late we are already and possibly entering a phase from where things would be irreversible.
.
Book is simple, enjoyable, crisp and divided into relevant chapters.
You learn that without spending too much money, we can still contribute when we are living our normal lives.
Just a few changes in your daily routines can help all animal and plant species a lot.
Data is presented in simplified way.
At certain instances author has used humour to good effect.
I will certainly like all my friends to read and connect to rebels who can see past capitalism to preserve and possibly rejuvenate our planet.
So that we don't need Mars missions to save us.
Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

Many apologies but I cannot give feedback on this as it does not download to kindle and my ways of reading the document will not open the file so sadly I cannot review it. I will therefore put it down as a 5 star as I cannot judge it myself.

If you feel overwhelmed and distressed by the state of the environment and powerless in the face of global forces, pick up this book. In this upbeat and even entertaining guide, Fee takes a tour of the many decisions we make that have an impact on the environment. You'll find guidance and helpful suggestions regarding on everything from what you wear to what you eat, to how you sleep, have sex, bathe, and entertain yourself.

What I love about this book is its relentlessly positive attitude. Fee insists that making better decisions is not depressing or self-denying, but life affirming. Her focus on the positive is critical. While Fee surveys the current threats to water, temperature, species, and more, she never submits to lecturing or despair. In the introduction, she writes, "If our motivation for saving the world stays rooted in fear, panic or anger, we risk not only arming ourselves but also shutting any windows that may have been open to the winds of change."

It's an empowering book, and I picked up a few new ideas about my own decisions and actions.

Very practical book on things we can do to help resist climate change. Some of these are very easy to do and to incorporate in your daily life. Some are not totally free to do but can require an investment like water saving taps in the bathroom. Great and clear explanation of the things we need to protect and backed up with research. The writing style is easy to follow and fun. I think everyone should read this book. Loved the illustrations!

An easy read on a tough topic. At times a little skimmable, but overall I did find this book useful. One thing I liked was that she broke things down into the ocean, soil, air, etc. She mentioned the areas that are in trouble, and then she goes into ways we can make small changes to hopefully make a larger impact. For example, I like how she talks about avoiding Palm Oil. I've been seeing more and more on these huge areas of land are being taken over for the cultivation of this, and they do not help the environment at all. I must admit I do not see myself becoming vegan any time soon, but no reason I can't cut back on the meat intake. Some things I never considered was taking in my own containers to the deli counter. Some things I've never heard of, such as Beeswax wrappers. I have been returning the straws for the past year or so, and many times refuse the plastic bags at the stores. We also refill gallon jugs of water and fill our own water bottles. Easy and actually cheaper. Never thought about how much almond milk is taking from the environment. Didn't realize how much water is redirected just for that. Overall, a lot of good tips and advice, that are actually easy and doable. Handy book, and one I highly recommend.

It’s a terrifying world out there, given the constant climate change and refusal of many governments to do something about it. Every day, each of us is adding to the pollution of the planet. The most important question remains: what can we, as individuals, do to save the world?

In How to Save the World for Free, author Natalie Fee lays out a comprehensive guide to the many little steps we can take to become better citizens for a better future. These are practical things you can do every day that reduce your footprint. It can be as simple as declining a straw at a restaurant or cutting your shower time down by a few minutes. Growing your own food or bringing your own containers when grocery shopping. It doesn’t take much to change your behaviors but it can make a big difference.

The guide starts out with a well written albeit terrifying look at the many issues plaguing our planet. It’s not just the rising temperatures, but a myriad of issues we’re causing as populations expand and we continue to consume at a faster rate. It’s a necessary section with important details that make the following chapters even more compelling.

The rest of the guide breaks the tips down into areas of your life. Eating, drinking, your home, your travel habits - its all here. Each section is full of facts detailing why these little steps matter. It’s written in a down-to-earth style, showing you that all of these tips are possible if you give it a bit of thought and compel yourself to make some changes in your daily life. You’ll finish the book feeling inspired and ready to make the world a better place.

I really liked this book. It gives you simple and actionable advice that you can do once you put the book down. It also is really well written. Will definitely purchase for library.

The ideas herein are fairly simple, but if adopted by everyone (or almost everyone), will add up to great improvements. For instance, use a reusable water bottle/coffee cup/bag, etc. and eliminate so much unneeded daily waste! My students (who, being young, are often less resistant to change than their elders) will enjoy this book.
