This was an okay book and quick read. However, I found it to be a bit incomplete in terms of calculating your actual carbon footprint. The tips are good though and the images accompanying make for an easy read!

Fascinating read, although I haven't checked out the facts to confirm if his statements are true. I liked the real-world examples to illustrate the true cost so I could understand the impact of my actions. Definitely a $1 well-spent at Dollar Tree!!
