101 Solutions to Animal Suffering

In the '60s, Silent Spring forced us to pay attention to the problem with pesticides. The '70s galvanized the nation to conserve. In the '90s our communities came together to "reduce, reuse, and recycle." And now, the first decade of the new millennium will focus our attention on our most urgent environmental challenge yet: global warming and the potential for irreversible climate change. In a clear and understandable style, Stormy Weather explains why we and the planet have reached this overheated situation and how scientists predict "runaway" climate change will affect the Earth and our lives. The solutions to global warming revolve around 12 core methods of reducing our use of fossil fuels and filling our energy needs with solar, wind, tidal, and bio fuels. Each user-friendly solution is organized on two facing pages with a description, illustrations, quotations, resources, and a detailed "how-to" section. Solutions are grouped by social sector -- Individuals, Citizen Groups, Towns and Cities, State Government, Power Utilities, Businesses, Oil, Coal & Gas Corporations, Automobile Corporations, National Governments, and Developing Nations -- breaking up these vital planet-saving tasks into manageable activities for both individuals and larger organizations. From riding your bike to the office to developing sustainable transportation infrastructures, and from launching a tree planting initiative in your community to negotiating a global forests protection treaty, this critical book will help anyone and everyone -- on a small or grand scale -- to participate in cooling our planet's troubled atmosphere.
