12 sprytnych sposobów, jak ocalić nasz świat

by Various, Adam Tooze (Translator)

Jedząc mięso i jeżdżąc samochodem, też możesz uratować świat. Pożegnaj się tylko z każdorazowym spuszczaniem wody w toalecie.

Dobra wiadomość: żeby ratować świat, wcale nie musisz zostać weganinem-cyklistą, myjącym się dwa razy w tygodniu. Możesz zacząć od noszenia dżinsów lub czarnych sukienek, podwożenia dzieci sąsiadów, bezmięsnego postu raz w tygodniu albo urządzenia wśród współpracowników konkursu "jedna kartka dziennie". Praktycznych pomysłów w tej książce znajdziesz mnóstwo, a za ich sensowność ręczą autorzy - grupa ekspertów z WWF, czyli jednej z największych organizacji ekologicznych na świecie.
12 rozdziałów poświęconych jest kolejnym dziedzinom życia, od jedzenia i ubierania się po ekologiczne oszczędzanie, a wszystko to wzbogacone fascynującymi statystykami, niebanalnymi przykładami i niezwykle przystępnymi wyjaśnieniami. No i zilustrowane przez najbardziej zabawnego rysownika młodego pokolenia.

Jeśli dotąd wzbraniałeś się przed poradnikami ekologicznymi, odpuść sobie i sięgnij po tę książkę.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

we're all murderers

[Frances · Rating 3 out of 5]

Love what this book stands for, 100% behind the message, will be taking the information and using it in my life.

However, it took me FOREVER to finish because it’s not written in an engaging way. It’s all business and that’s fine but it doesn’t make it quick to read.

Would definitely recommend reading it, full of valuable info that the world needs right now.

Cùng nhau giải cứu thế giới ♻️

Cũng có người nghĩ rằng một người thì làm gì được chứ, nhưng cuốn sách này sẽ chỉ cho người đọc thấy rằng cứ từng người một "nhỏ mà có võ" này, lại có thể tạo ra rất nhiều điều to bự khác, như là hiệu ứng cánh bướm vậy.
Vậy còn những người đã từ lâu mong muốn làm gì đó để cải thiện môi trường, liệu mọi người đã biết cụ thể phải làm gì chưa? Liệu cách mọi người thường làm đó giờ có phải là cách tốt nhất và hợp lý nhất không?
Sách có sự hỗ trợ từ World Wildlife Fund nên mọi người cứ yên tâm về nguồn. Trong đó ngoài hướng dẫn cho mội người điều chúng ta có thể làm, thì sách còn chỉ thêm những nhận thức sai lầm và cả những hậu quả mà công nghiệp hiện đại gây tổn hại đến môi trường.

Mình mong tất cả mọi người đều có thể đọc được sách này, hoặc có được nội dung của chúng, từ những nguồn đáng tin cậy.

Việc nho nhỏ mọi người làm chắc chắn không phải là điều vô nghĩa, cho dù chỉ là tắt bớt một cái bóng đèn, tắm ít đi, mua quần áo đơn giản chất lượng tốt, sử dụng đồ có thể tái sử dụng hoặc chỉ là ăn chay.
Bất kể lí do của chúng ta là gì, vì đó là quan niệm đạo đức hay tôn giáo, vì trách nhiệm đồng loại, vì con cháu sau này, vì muôn loài chúng sinh, vì bạn thích thì làm, ... hãy đưa nó vào hành động thực tế để cùng nhau bảo vệ môi trường, và đó không phải là "chuyện thiên hạ".

It's a very important book that emphasizes the fact that we should take care of the environment, but I think that the information was not very well structured and that made the it a little bit boring. But after all, I really recommend it and it's a must to apply the ideas from the book.

Książka zmieniająca światopogląd. Pokazuje jak ważne są małe zmiany i w jak wielkim zagrożeniu jesteśmy. Rekomenduje każdemu

[Noura Al Fadhli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here’s a review of my very first book about the environment:

All in all, it was a very easy read with many eye-opening statistics and well-written suggestions. Fogle has a great way of constructing the words into making you feel like he’s actually talking to you. I would recommend this book to any person who’s interested in climate change and wants to contribute in the reduction of waste.

Here’s the summary of the 12 acts:

1) Don’t simply standby: Unplug your appliances and kill the vampire power
2) Go blue to go green: Save water each day by brushing and washing
3) Green is the new black: Make your wardrobe last longer
4) On your bike: Walk, ride or run
5) Paper doesn’t grow on trees: Lower your daily paper usage
6) Gear up for a greener plate: Moderate the meat and enhance those plants
7) Reuse, rinse, repeat: Cut down on daily plastic waste
8) Mindful shopping: Think big, before you buy big-ticket items
9) Potted potential: Clean the air by potting plants at home and the office
10) Eco-footprints in the sand: Lower your holiday footprint
11) Pledge for the future: Make your pension an investment for the planet
12) Don’t mess with the world: Stop littering, and lead a community clean-up

A brilliant and informative book brimming with ideas that you can easily put into practice to help save our world! Each short and quick-to-read chapter focuses on one way in which you can help save the world be it with saving energy by turning off lights, changing how you commute and cutting down on short trips in the car, or using refillable water bottles and kicking that plastic convenience habit!

I loved the layout of each chapter and thought they were set out in a very concise and easy format to read with lots of pauses to give you chance to reflect on the information given. It it absolutely chock-full of tips and ways to help save our world and I will definitely be implementing them! It's also full of facts and figures with targets set by certain countries or organisations and the impact we humans have had on our planet. It's a book of hope though, of ways to drive the focus towards a better way of living and to look after our fragile world.

An absolute must-read for anyone and everyone.

[Katarzyna Jezierska · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick and easy read, sharing plenty of simple ideas to lower your personal environmental impact. Have to admit a bit basic if you are already interested in the subject but nice if you’re just starting and want some actionable ideas. Plus for fun illustrations in the Polish translation and for including some local statistics to compare vs global averages.

[Taran Hewitt · Rating 4 out of 5]

A clear concise shortlist of small everyday things we can do. Good reading for those who have reneged on their earlier ideals or are in denial about how every little bit helps, and for those with young kids who need a bit of encouragement to join the movement. It isn't sophisticated but then that was never what it set out to be. A valuable book.

[James Kirton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read full of simple ideas get yourself on the path to helping the environment in a small way or two. Some of the information really was eye opening and has certainly set me on the right path towards being a bit more aware in the home.

[Lesia Ukraïnka · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book would be useful if not being published. I was looking for some real useful ideas, not advices kinda "use less water, turn the light"
If you're thinking about buying it, just read the content. It's a pity so much paper was wasted for this book.. 🤦

[Melissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Stuff you probably already know. But its good to have a reminder.

[Sarah Byrne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book! Lots of simple and effective ways to reduce your environmental footprint. I think most readers will come across ideas that they haven’t thought of before.

[Bartek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bardzo interesująca książka. Dużo cennych informacji i łatwej do zrozumienia i ciekawej formie. Polecam każdemu!

[Adrianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book has many valuable information, but for me it’s all said to mildly, I mean the environmental crisis is a huge issue, but they show it as some slight inconvenience.

[Izabela Kriese · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 gwiazdek, nawet nie ma co mówić. Każdy powinien to przeczytać aby uświadomić sobie jak bardzo nasza planeta cierpi oraz jak może jej pomóc.

[Alice Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is so important.!!! Easy things we can all do to save the planet!!!
Not the easiest read but do research if you can’t be bothered to read it!

[APR Lamprey]

If you haven't read anything about recycling or environmentalism, it's a good place to start. It's got some life hacks and it's some interesting background.
