Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day Program to Lose 5000 Pounds is a book that is destines to become a movement. Arriving
just in time to meet the groundswell of demand created by An Inconvenient Truth, it guides readers through an accessible
step-by-step program for personal CO2-reduction that leaves them empowered and inspired at the difference they
can make toward the issue of our time.
Grounded in over two decades of environmental behavior change research, this illustrated workbook offers readers
much more than a to-do list of eco-friendly actions. With practicality and humor, bestselling author and environmental
change pioneer David Gershon walks readers through every step of the carbon-reduction process, from calculating
their current CO2 footprint to tracking their progress and measuring their impact. By making simple changes to
actions they take every day, readers learn how to reduce their annual household CO2 output by at least 15%. And,
for those who are more ambitious, there are chapters on how to become "carbon neutral" and help one's
workplace, local schools and community do the same.
A recent Yale University study revealed that over three-quarters of Americans not only accept the reality that
their lifestyle is contributing to climate change; they believe they have a responsibility to do something about
it. Now, with the release of Low Carbon Diet, they have a practical tool to help them succeed.
