I recently finished reading Extreme Ice Now:Vanishing Glaciers and Changing Climate: A Progress Report by James Balog, which is a book that came out of the Extreme Ice Survey Project. This book is a short, easy read with some amazing pictures of glaciers around the world and how they are being impacted by climate change. This is a fantastic book for someone still learning about global warming, as it is broken up into very short chapters that each focus on one aspect of climate change. It gives some great topic summaries, data, and tips and the photographs are just amazing. Definitely worth checking out!According to Balog, personal household consumption accounts for 27% of your carbon footprint and transportation is 19%. A couple of James Balog's tips to reduce your carbon footprint: support renewable energy, air-dry clothing, fix leaky door and windows, drive and fly less, stop drinking bottled water and eat local! Amen!
The author was also featured in a Nova/PBS documentary entitled Extreme Ice. Pin It Now!
