Written in 2008, The Green Patriot Working Group, a group I've never heard of, unsurprisingly, wrote this straightforward book of "do good for the earth" steps that cover the basics of "going green." Most of these steps are common place within today's norms. Unfortunately, a majority of references and websites no longer exist. Due to this being a book geared towards "current events" it's mostly outdated in 2024.
