"In this straightforward, easy-to-understand and entertaining book, dietitian and environmentalist Dr. Dana Ellis Hunnes outlines a number of actions we can all take - right now - to be both healthier an more environmentally friendly. Many people do not yet fully understand how the climate crisis could negatively affect their own lives. Too many people feel overwhelmed by the scope of climate change and believe that only large, sweeping changes will make any difference. Yet the choices we make every day can have positive or negative effects on climate change, the oceans, the land, and other species with whom we share our world. This book outlines the problems we are facing, and then presents ideas or 'recipes' to empower us, to help us all make a difference. Recipe For Survival provides the guidance that you can use right now to improve your and your family's health, and, simultaneously, the health of the environment."-- Publisher.
