Bruce Feiler, The Secrets of Happy Families: Improve Your Mornings, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much More

“The average estimate implies that when your income increases by 10 percent, your CO2 emissions increase by 9 percent.”
Abhijit V. Banerjee, Good Economics for Hard Times: Better Answers to Our Biggest Problems
