50 Simple Steps to Save the World's Rainforests

How to Save Our Rainforests with Everyday Acts

By: Kim Henderson,The Green Patriot Working Group

Despite the very best conservation and environmental policy-making efforts, at least 80,000 acres of tropical rainforest disappear each day. If action is not taken now, experts estimate that the world’s rainforests will mostly disappear within 50 years. Currently, the destruction of tropical forests is responsible for 17 percent of man-made carbon emissions-more than what comes from all the world’s cars, airplanes and ships combined! Tropical rainforests need our help-and that’s where 50 Simple Steps to Save the World’s Rainforests comes in. The future of the world’s rainforests lies to a large extent in the collective hands of consumers and how they shop, since demand is what fuels the forces driving deforestation-agriculture, logging, and resource extraction. Through the 50-step journey, you will learn how, as a consumer, you may unwittingly support rainforest destruction and more importantly, precisely how you can make different choices that help save rainforests. For example, you will learn how your paper use and purchases of rayon clothing affect Indonesian rainforests where Sumatran tigers are critically endangered or how simply eating Brazil nuts helps save the Amazon rainforest. You will discover how the cultivation of palm oil, a common ingredient in confections, baked goods, soaps and biofuels, is fueling rampant deforestation in Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea and how you can avoid it. 50 Simple Steps to Save the Rainforests is the ultimate primer for anyone wanting to take action to help save this ecosystem, which is so critical to the future of mankind.

50 Simple Steps to Kick Our Oil Habit

By: The Green Patriot Working Group

With "50 Simple Steps to Kick America's Oil Habit", the goal of the Green Patriot Working Group is to initiate the next oil boycott--when America tells the world that it doesn't need oil anymore from unfriendly, hostile or unstable governments because its citizens have been empowered to do their share to kick our extreme addiction to petroleum. Following in the footsteps of the very successful "50 Simple Steps to Save the Earth from Global Warming", the Green Patriot Working Group's newest consumer handbook provides easy and practical steps anybody can take to reduce their personal dependency on petrochemicals. From the cosmetics and household cleaning products we purchase to the foods we eat, our choice of transportation, how we heat our homes and even the clothing we wear, Americans can make choices that will make a tremendous difference for our future national security. "50 Simple Steps" also looks at the many side benefits of abandoning petroleum products including improved public health (from reduced carcinogens, toxins and pollution), a healthier environment (due to reduced greenhouse gases and global warming) and a healthier economy (due to keeping billions of U.S. dollars in our own country). "50 Simple Steps" challenges and inspires its readers to be leaders-each person, each Green Patriot-and to do their fair share for America. "50 Simple Steps" makes it easy.
