- Two Misc. books for those interested in saving the environment: I've
- copied the following from a flyer sent me by the publisher, EarthWorks
- Press, without permission -- but I imagine they wouldn't mind my typing
- it in, or people distributing this info, since it's free advertising
- for them:
-
-
- "Gardening for the Earth: A Gardener's Guide to a Healthy Planet" by
- the EarthWorks Group & Kevin Raftery
-
- Tips on how to garden in environmentally-beneficial ways, written in
- tfeh same "50 Simple Things . . . " easy-to-follow style. Includes
- information on mulching, composting, water conservation, chemical and
- pesticide-free gardening methods, xeriscaping and more. For any
- gardeneer, beginning or advanced, any kind of landscape and any
- climate. $5.95, 96 pages: ISBN: 1-879682-19-2
-
-
- "50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to Recycle" by the EarthWorks Group
-
- "50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to SAve the EArth" brought thousands of
- letters from kids asking for more recycling tips. So here it is -- a
- whole book on recyling for kids! $5.95, 144 pages: ISBN:
- 1-879682-00-1
-
-
- The EarthWorks Group also has available: "50 Simple Things You Can Do
- to Save the Earth" {tip from typist: this is an excellent starting
- point for people who want to do SOMEthing for the environment, but
- either have no idea where to start, or just don't want to be extremely
- committed, or both. While a few ideas in this book (e.g. buying
- graywater tanks, or going vegan) are for the somewhat more committed,
- other ideas are so simple they barely require thought (e.g. snipping
- the circles in six-pack holders before throwing them out, or not
- releasing balloons outdoors), while other ideas can also save you
- money, etc}; also "50 Simple Things Your Business Can do to Save the
- EArth", "The Recycler's Handbook", "The Student Environmental Action
- Guide". Also: "50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save Your Life"
-
- Pretty much any of the books listed above should be available at many
- local bookstores. If they aren't on the shelf, remember, most
- bookstores will let you special-order.
-
- Bulk rates are available.
