positive ideas for positive change

Rarely do you find such a wonderful combination of environmental challenges and reasonable well thought out solutions to those problems. While exploring the problems facing residents of the Pacific Northwest (from Northern California to British Columbia) the authors choose not to dwell on the problems but to walk through obtainable solutions to those problems that really leave the reader thinking that they really can make a big difference.By applying simple straight forward action to the existing economic and cultural climate in the area, big changes could be made towards creating a sustainable Northwest. Anyone looking for an uplifting boost to their environmentalist morale should check out this book.I feel that this book would be useful to people all over the planet as most of the ideas presented here are applicable to any area of the world. The examples are set in the context of the Pacific Northwest, but it would be easy to extrapolate those examples to your part of the world.
