About this listen
“Earth provided enough to satisfy every man’s need but not every man’s greed.” (Mahatma Gandhi)
“Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.” (Bill Gates)
These are just a couple of quotes from well-known people. Unless we come together and collectively take action against climate change and make it a huge priority, as Bill Gates says, we are at risk of causing irreversible damage and destroying the planet for our children and future generations.
There is still so much we can do to reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the air, both as individuals and on a more grand scale with the help of governments and other influential organizations around the world.
This book will provide you with simple things that we can do as individuals to tackle an overwhelming problem. In each chapter, we will dig into the issue, explaining how everyday choices lead to carbon emissions and then provide a list of "to do’s" that you can take away and put into practice. We will cover:
- How to cut down your energy use at home
- Reduce your plastic use
- Increase the fuel efficiency of your car
- Ways to become less materialistic
- Make smarter choices with the purchases you make
- Growing trees to save the planet
- Ways you can spreads the word
- Changing your diet to help the environment
- How to recycle and what to recycle
- Make smarter choices with the clothes you buy
- How to be more eco-friendly when you travel
And much more!
The Living Green Guide is the book for people who want to know more—and do more—to save the planet.
You may think that taking steps in the fight against climate change is all common sense. But there will be many things that you will be surprised to learn in this book. I know I was when I first discovered them!
Even if all this book does is encourage you to put one of the actions into practice, then this is one step closer in the fight against climate change.

A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy, it can also drain the true joy from life. In recent years, millions have watched their American Dreams go up in smoke.

Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

Story
For decades environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better. How can this be? The explanation is that we usually hear only one side of the story. We're taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their risks and side effects, but not their positives.

Water scarcity is on everyone's mind. Long taken for granted, water availability has entered the realm of economics, politics, and people's food and lifestyle choices. But as anxiety mounts - even as a swath of California farmland has been left fallow and extremist groups worldwide exploit the desperation of people losing livelihoods to desertification - many are finding new routes to water security with key implications for food access, economic resilience, and climate change.

Very Comprehensive for Sustain Living
To stop climate change, each of us must contribute in some way. I liked how studies were used to show the development if a certain percentage of homes practiced reducing our usage of different resources. Though individually we may not believe we have the power to change things, as a group we do.
I wasn't sure I would learn anything new after decades of dedication on my part to the environment, but I did. In particular, effective recycling is important to ensure that everything we put in our recycling bins is truly accepted and doesn't end up in a landfill. Shredded material must be contained in a box or paper bag if you intend to recycle it to avoid clogging the recycling facility's machinery.

Practical Environmental Advice
I really loved this audiobook! Learning about the harmful effects of things as simple as cleaning products was something that I'd never really considered but greatly appreciated getting tips on. The environmental impact that can be made by switching up certain products right in my home was also greatly helpful.
I had no idea that certain types of production in making food can cause harm to the earth or how composting is a great way to reduce waste for the food that you're not going to be eating. Loved this, I believe everybody could benefit in gaining knowledge on how to treat the earth with care and kindness.

Worth Every Minute
Everyone should listen to/read this book because there is something for everybody. It is a fantastic book discussing supposedly minor information like using a microwave Vs. Oven, keeping the windows airtight, using towels to save water, financial savings on heat, etc. No one will listen and not be impacted by one or multiple ways in the book. I recommend this book and hope it can be on every table in the world.
