Worried about global warming? Want to save the planet but not sure how to start?

Australia is among the worst nations on earth for greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste. Yet recent research shows that eight out of ten Australians are concerned about environmental issues such as global warming, but aren't sure what they can do about it.

Enter The Little Green Guide.

From saving energy at home to holidays or organising a wedding, this handy pocket-sized book identifies the steps that can make the most difference for the least time, cost and effort.

For example, eating one less meal of red meat a week could reduce a family of four's greenhouse emissions by as much as buying a hybrid car.

The Little Green Guide identifies many quick and easy things we can do in our daily lives that will make a significant difference to our environmental impact and they save money and help us to achieve a healthier lifestyle. It's also a book for busy people who want a quick introduction to green living.

This 96pp, pocket-sized book gets straight to the point, while still managing to convey a sense of how individual actions relate to the "big picture" of global warming and other environmental problems.

The Little Green Guide complements Planet Ark's efforts to show people how to reduce their day-to-day impact on the environment – at home, at work and within the community. Written by journalist Mark Mann, The Little Green Guide's no-nonsense approach to going green condenses a daunting subject into a short, easy-to-manage guide to get you started on the road to sustainability.

If you want to help save the planet but aren’t quite sure how, then The Little Green Guide is for you.

You can buy your own copy of The Little Green Guide today from Planet Ark Direct.

Alternatively, The Little Green Guide is now available in bookstores around Australia.
