Important Books
It's hard to find these books in an online non-profit bookstore. They are all available, of course, on Amazon. If you don't already I recommend that you use Smile Amazon and a little bit of every purchase goes towards the non profit you choose. All of these books are important and pivotal to our understanding. These three have helped my understanding a lot.
An excellent overview by an esteemed scientist.My personal science hero and a tremendously important book.

What YOU can do.Global Climate Disruption seems insurmountable and we seem too insignificant to make change. This points out what we as individuals can do.

Small Impact Products
Bamboo TothbrushesOver 200,000,000 people use plastic toothbrushes in the U.S. alone. These are a great alternative!

Bamboo Razor HandleI hate shaving but when I have to I'll use this biodegradable handle with a refill blade
|
Bamboo StrawsI'm not a big fan of eye pokers anyway and recently I've tried stainless steel, Pyrex and bamboo reusable straws. I like the bamboo straws best.

Bigger Impact
I Love meat. I really do but I also want to save the planet and I am not that familiar with vegetarian cooking. The book "Drawdown", mentioned above, says if we all cut our meat intake that will have a substantional impact on Climate Change for a number of reasons. We loved Blue Apron and this is a Veggie Rich version of that.
