A helpful, can-do guide on all of the little ways you can help the environment.

Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

Many apologies but I cannot give feedback on this as it does not download to kindle and my ways of reading the document will not open the file so sadly I cannot review it. I will therefore put it down as a 5 star as I cannot judge it myself.

This book includes very necessary and clear explanations of the extent of our environmental issues, and examples of daily choices to improve our personal environmental impact. Beginning with slightly miserable explanations of the current state of the environment, it easily shows the importance of taking action. However it moves on to explore many manageable ways to 'save the world'.
It covers a wide range of lifestyle changes that are environmentally conscious, however I found that as someone who already has a respect for the impact of my daily choices there was very little I learnt from this book. But for anyone who is beginning to rule out environmentally damaging behaviours, it is a good place to start.
I would have liked to explore further how making these small changes are beneficial. The impact of strength in numbers and influence of others decisions was touched on, however making these choices everyday leads us to be consistently aware of environmental impact and more likely to consider it in all decision making.
Overall a good coverage of lifestyle tips and incredibly necessary in the current state of the world.

If you feel overwhelmed and distressed by the state of the environment and powerless in the face of global forces, pick up this book. In this upbeat and even entertaining guide, Fee takes a tour of the many decisions we make that have an impact on the environment. You'll find guidance and helpful suggestions regarding on everything from what you wear to what you eat, to how you sleep, have sex, bathe, and entertain yourself.

What I love about this book is its relentlessly positive attitude. Fee insists that making better decisions is not depressing or self-denying, but life affirming. Her focus on the positive is critical. While Fee surveys the current threats to water, temperature, species, and more, she never submits to lecturing or despair. In the introduction, she writes, "If our motivation for saving the world stays rooted in fear, panic or anger, we risk not only arming ourselves but also shutting any windows that may have been open to the winds of change."

It's an empowering book, and I picked up a few new ideas about my own decisions and actions.

Very practical book on things we can do to help resist climate change. Some of these are very easy to do and to incorporate in your daily life. Some are not totally free to do but can require an investment like water saving taps in the bathroom. Great and clear explanation of the things we need to protect and backed up with research. The writing style is easy to follow and fun. I think everyone should read this book. Loved the illustrations!

An easy read on a tough topic. At times a little skimmable, but overall I did find this book useful. One thing I liked was that she broke things down into the ocean, soil, air, etc. She mentioned the areas that are in trouble, and then she goes into ways we can make small changes to hopefully make a larger impact. For example, I like how she talks about avoiding Palm Oil. I've been seeing more and more on these huge areas of land are being taken over for the cultivation of this, and they do not help the environment at all. I must admit I do not see myself becoming vegan any time soon, but no reason I can't cut back on the meat intake. Some things I never considered was taking in my own containers to the deli counter. Some things I've never heard of, such as Beeswax wrappers. I have been returning the straws for the past year or so, and many times refuse the plastic bags at the stores. We also refill gallon jugs of water and fill our own water bottles. Easy and actually cheaper. Never thought about how much almond milk is taking from the environment. Didn't realize how much water is redirected just for that. Overall, a lot of good tips and advice, that are actually easy and doable. Handy book, and one I highly recommend.

It’s a terrifying world out there, given the constant climate change and refusal of many governments to do something about it. Every day, each of us is adding to the pollution of the planet. The most important question remains: what can we, as individuals, do to save the world?

In How to Save the World for Free, author Natalie Fee lays out a comprehensive guide to the many little steps we can take to become better citizens for a better future. These are practical things you can do every day that reduce your footprint. It can be as simple as declining a straw at a restaurant or cutting your shower time down by a few minutes. Growing your own food or bringing your own containers when grocery shopping. It doesn’t take much to change your behaviors but it can make a big difference.

The guide starts out with a well written albeit terrifying look at the many issues plaguing our planet. It’s not just the rising temperatures, but a myriad of issues we’re causing as populations expand and we continue to consume at a faster rate. It’s a necessary section with important details that make the following chapters even more compelling.

The rest of the guide breaks the tips down into areas of your life. Eating, drinking, your home, your travel habits - its all here. Each section is full of facts detailing why these little steps matter. It’s written in a down-to-earth style, showing you that all of these tips are possible if you give it a bit of thought and compel yourself to make some changes in your daily life. You’ll finish the book feeling inspired and ready to make the world a better place.

Review to be published on 10/22: http://reviewsandrobots.com/2019/10/22/how-to-save-the-world-for-free-book-review

I really liked this book. It gives you simple and actionable advice that you can do once you put the book down. It also is really well written. Will definitely purchase for library.

The ideas herein are fairly simple, but if adopted by everyone (or almost everyone), will add up to great improvements. For instance, use a reusable water bottle/coffee cup/bag, etc. and eliminate so much unneeded daily waste! My students (who, being young, are often less resistant to change than their elders) will enjoy this book.

Ok so where to start? I think this is one of the most important books I've read recently if not at all!

While it first covers which thinks we need to save (oceans, forests, the atmosphere, rivers, soil, plants & animals and OURSELVES!) it shows solutions all the way. Step by step it inspires to think about how you could change your daily routine to a more eco friendly one. There is a chapter for every part that could need some improvement like "how to save the world while.." you eat, you drink, you travel, etc.

While it gave me the feeling that I'm doing pretty good so far (for example unplugging electronics when not needed, avoid plastic bottles and carry a refillable one instead, take the bike whenever I can, fly less, prefer the train on travels and drive only a small car, wallet without leather, menstrual cup and so on) it still gave me many points to tackle. While I heard about green banking before I was kinda too lazy to really dig deeper here and change banks and let my money have a better impact on the environment. Also I thought my energy supplier was eco friendly already but after some more research it turned out its only 69% from renewable energy!

The thing that stayed with me most "if you can't reuse it, refuse it!" such a simple thing to consider whenever someone offers you plastic straws or cups for example.

It also suggested a lot of critical documentations about the food and clothes industry for example... I have a super long to watch list right now guys!

So yeah, i really hope this book gets the attention it deserves and if everyone who read it just applies a few of the given solutions I have hope for our wonderful planet!

Thanks netgalley, Laurence King Publishing Ltd. and of course Natalie Fee to give me the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
